Stay warm, look super cute, and cheer on your team in style!

Who doesn’t love a good game day accessory? If you’re looking for a fun, easy way to show off your team spirit, I’ve got just the pattern for you. Customize my popular crochet pattern by choosing yarn from the wide range of Lion Brand Wool Ease Thick and Quick colors to create the perfect hat—for game day or everyday!
It all started when I designed the below hat in Cincinnati Bengals colors for the Super Bowl. It was a hit due to its warm and soft wool-blend, bold stripes, and fun, oversized pom pom. Plus, it’s super easy to make – most crocheters can whip it up in a day.

I also made a Cleveland Browns version for my cousin using the same colors as the Bengals hat, but substituted brown for the black in the pom pom.
That led to making the hat in Kansas City Chiefs colors. I love how it works so well as a subtle way to support your favorite team. It’s obviously team colors, but with an element of style. Tres chic 💅

I’d love to make and list a version for every NFL, NHL, and NBA team, but let’s be real, that’s just not possible. Not because of a lack of colors though – Lion Brand Wool Ease Thick & Quick has a ton to choose from! So if you’re after a cute, quick, and fun hat, check out my pattern and customize it with your choice of colors.

Not sure where to start? Send me a message here or on Etsy and I’ll happily help you pick the perfect combo.
So, if you’re looking for an easy, quick crochet project that gives you a cute, cozy, game-day-ready hat, check out my pattern and tag me on Instagram @nickibyrnescrochet with your finished piece!
And the fun doesn’t stop with the sports season – you can reuse this pattern to make so many options, like this Valentine’s Day version I wear every year which makes an awesome teacher gift ❤️
