Worsted Weight Crochet Hat Patterns
Worsted weight crochet hat patterns use medium (#4) yarn with a 5–5.5 mm hook, producing hats that stretch comfortably and show stitch detail. Worsted hats are warmer than DK and less bulky than chunky styles, which makes them good everyday hats. An adult beanie typically uses 150–250 yards.

When should you choose worsted over chunky yarn for a hat?
Choose worsted over chunky yarn for a hat when you want textured stitches, cables, or colorwork to show clearly, or when the hat needs to fit under a hood. Worsted fabric is thinner and stretchier, so it sits closer to the head and adjusts better to different head sizes.
