Fun Hats to Knit for Fall

Pumpkins are everywhere this time of year, and it’s a great time to knit a pumpkin-themed hat or something else with great fall vibes. This post is almost all pumpkins, but I also have a great knit witch hat pattern I didn’t know what to do with but definitely wanted to share, so you’re getting that one here, too.

Speaking of, let’s just start with that one. The Thicc Witch Hat by Sun Daughter Knits is gorgeous and I want to knit it even though I’m not personally a witch and don’t intend to dress up for Halloween. I feel like I could just wear this any time, right? It uses super bulky yarn and comes in three sizes to fit witches small and fully grown.

If you want a hat that looks like a pumpkin, or better yet, a hat that looks like a pumpkin that you can knit for the whole family (take a moment to imagine the photos from the pumpkin patch!), check out the Pumpkin Patch Hat from Fox and Pine Stitches. This cutie is simple to knit in worsted weight yarn and it’s sized from babies to adult men. The little green stem on top just adds to the cuteness.

A different take on the pumpkin hat, this time sized for babies up to kids around age 10, comes from Marianna’s Lazy Daisy Days. This hat is worked mostly in stockinette stitch with purls to make the ridges in the pumpkin, and it uses a little I-cord tied in a knot to finish up the top.

Or maybe you want a hat with pumpkins on it instead of one that looks like a pumpkin? I have a couple of options for you there, too. The Fall Festival Beanie is a free pattern from Premier Yarns and it includes colorwork pumpkins and acorns. It’s worked in bulky yarn and was designed by Lindsey Faciane.

The Pumpkin Magic Beanie by My Comforting Crafts has pumpkins all the way down and uses two colors of worsted weight yarn. It’s sized from babies to adults, but even the adult one is super quick to knit because watching those pumpkins appear is so fun you won’t want to stop knitting. You can get this pattern on Etsy.

Why should the fireplace get all the fun? Instead of knitting stockings this year, why not whip up a pair of Christmas themed socks? These Christmas sock knitting patterns are lots of fun to make and you can wear them to holiday gatherings for years to come.

For our friends in the southern part of the world, there are the Christmas in July socks from the Kiwi Lodge – Kylie (Ravelry link). These shorty socks are covered in Christmas trees and have bright pink heels and toes for a tropical feel. There’s also an option to make a longer sock if you celebrate somewhere it’s colder.

Twin Stitches Designs (Ravelry) has a fun pattern with mix and match colorwork motifs you can use to build your own cozy Christmas socks. From the sample socks I see Christmas puddings, trucks hauling trees, Santa belts, ornaments and a couple of different borders. There may be more patterns included but the listing doesn’t say. Make a pair that matches or use different motifs on each foot for extra holiday cheer.

If you want to stick to Christmas puddings on your holiday socks, check out this cute pattern from Stone Knits. These lovely socks feature a band of puddings around the leg and a bit of holly by the toes.

These vintage holiday light socks from Grey Owl Knits by Sarah are classic looking and lots of fun at the same time. I love this color combination but of course you can make your lights and stripes whatever colors you like or have on hand. They’re worked using stranded knitting.

And if you’d like even more of a mix of patterns for your socks, try Barbara Ceglédi’s Christmas Chaos socks, a free pattern on Ravelry. The pattern includes 25 little motifs you can choose from, ranging from snowflakes and Christmas trees to elf hats, reindeer and hearts.
