It’s another day & another opportunity to share a FREE crochet pattern, the crochet Delicatus Hat.
Crochet hats can be super easy to make & can be made with any crochet stitch.
What I love about this specific hat is the fact that it shows of the broomstick lace stitch beautifully!
This stitch requires that you use both a crochet hook & yarn, as well as a “broomstick”. That can be anything really, but for this specific pattern I’ve used a 15 mm knitting needle.

Crochet Pattern Notes
- This crochet pattern is written in US terms.
- All measurements given are unblocked.
- Note that measurements are given as exact as possible. But crochet tension & technique might give variations in the result, that changes from person to person.
- Read pattern instructions carefully before beginning to make sure you understand everything. It might save you hours frogging your work & crocheting it again!
- Make a swatch that measures at least 10 x 10 cm / 4 x 4 inches using the stitch the gauge is given for. If your swatch matches the gauge, you’re good to go. If the gauge is wrong, you might need to change your hook. Go up in crochet hook size if your stitches are smaller & go down in crochet hook size if your stitches are bigger. Learn more about testing gauge.
- Check yarn info if you want to find an alternative or test your yarn against the gauge. Learn more about substituting yarn.

If just one number is given, it applies to all sizes. I recommend that you highlight or circle the size you’re making before you begin to make the pattern easier to follow. Size adjustments are added under the heading “Sizes & Measurements”.

Stitches You Will Need
Broomstick Lace Stitch
Foundation Single Crochet Stitch (FSC)
Step 1: Ch 2 st.
Step 2: Insert hook into 2nd ch from hook, pull up a loop. Yo and pull through first loop (making “chain”). Yo and pull through both loops on hook.
Step 3: Insert hook into prev“chain” you made (It should look like you go through a resemblance of a “normal” st, with 2 strands of yarn), pull up a loop, yo and pull through first loop (making “chain”). Yo and pull through both loops on hook.
Repeat step 3 until you’ve made enough stitches.
*2nd ch in step 1 makes 1 st, step 2 makes 1st & every time step 3 is repeated you make 1 st.
Instructions for the Crochet Delicatus Hat
Make 95 (100) 105 (110) 115 (120) 125 st using the FSC technique.
Row 1: Place the loop on the hook over on the “broomstick”, *using the crochet hook draw up a loop from the BL of the next st and place on the “broomstick”*, repeat from *to* until end of row, turn (= 95 (100) 105 (110) 115 (120) 125 loops on broomstick).
Row 2: *Move 5 loops from the “broomstick” over to the crochet hook, sl st 1 around the 5 loops, dc 5 around the same loops*, repeat from *to* until end of row, turn (= 95 (100) 105 (110) 115 (120) 125 st*).
* Sl st not included in stitch count, just dc stitches.
Row 3- row 9 (10) 10 (11) 11 (12) 12 rows: Repeat row 1 & 2 every other row.
Fasten off & cut yarn.
Finishing
- With the wrong side facing. With a needle, seam the side of the beanie, start at the bottom & move up.
- Still working with the needle, pull through the top of every loop on the top of the hat with the same yarn, in a way that makes it possible to pull tight after going through those stitches.
- Pull tight & fasten thread.
- Fasten all threads & weave in ends.
- Optional: Make & attach a pom pom.
