Why crochet hats for Christmas?
Nothing makes me happier than crocheting hats…and crocheting hats for Christmas just takes the joy to another level! Handmade hats make thoughtful, cozy gifts for friends and loved ones, and festive styles are a fun way to spread a little holiday cheer. Plus, they can be surprisingly quick to make! When I’m at my peak, using super bulky yarn patterns and my trusty 9.0 mm hook, I can finish a hat in about an hour. So, 10–12 hats a day isn’t out of the question!
What to Do with Crochet Hats
Making 10–12 hats a day can add up quickly! So what do you do with all those hats? Well, I love donating them to local charities that support people experiencing homelessness, bringing extras to schools for kiddos who have lost a hat, and driving around to hand them out to folks working outdoors or at drive-thru windows.
It’s such a fun winter tradition…Kevin and I pack up the car with hats and snacks and fill our hearts with the spirit of the season.
And then, of course, there are the craft fairs and Christmas gifts! By the end of December, I’m all hatted out…but when the urge hits, my stash takes a hit, too!
Here’s to hoping your stash is sufficient, your heart is generous, and your hands are quick as you make all the hats for gifting this season.
