If you’re like me, you probably have a few WIPs already in progress but still crave a quick, portable project to take anywhere. Well, heads up! Here are 5 free hat patterns you must knit this winter—all guaranteed to inspire your needles!

There you have it, 5 free gorgeous beanie patterns, or toques (pronounced "tukes") as they're called where I'm from. I have knit many of these patterns myself, like the Skalbagge Cabled Hat and the Cozy Ear Flap Hat, and I really enjoyed making them and gifting them to loved ones. Please let us know in the comments below if you decide to cast-on (or have ever casted-on) any of these designs, we really do love hearing from you.
Stay tuned for next week when we round up 5 of our most favourite free crochet hat patterns!
Happy Making,
Mélanie
