The results are in! The 2025 Super Bowl will again be the Kansas City Chiefs vs. the Philadelphia Eagles. Whether you’re cheering on the Chiefs or rooting for the Eagles, one thing’s for sure — you’ll want to show your team spirit in style. So, why not crochet your very own game day hat? It’s quick, comfy, and oh-so-cute! It’s the perfect project to work on as you countdown to February 7th.
Cheer in Comfort with a Custom Crochet Hat
This fan-favorite striped crochet winter hat is just the thing to keep you warm while you cheer on your team. Whether you’re strolling through Kansas City, Philadelphia, or even headed to New Orleans (apparently they get snow now!), this hat will keep you cozy and cute. And please note, I am unbiased…I hope both of your teams win 🙂
To get started today, you can find the pattern on Etsy here. There are 2 sizes included in the pattern, the materials needed, and all of the row by row instructions. It is beginner-friendly and experienced crocheters will whip this up in an evening. I think trimming the pom pom perfectly takes me longer to make than the hat sometimes!
I’ve made the hat in Chiefs colors, so you can see in the photos what it will look like. Next up is the Eagles version. Until I get the hat crocheted, feel free to purchase the pattern here or here and swap out the yarn colors listed with my recommendations below.
Kansas City Chiefs Fans
For those of you rocking the red and gold, the Mustard, Cranberry, and Fisherman colors from Lion Brand Wool Ease Thick & Quick will do the trick. The colors pop, they look great together, and they’ll make sure you stand out in the crowd. Get your hands on these yarn colors, and you’ll have a hat ready in no time.
Philadelphia Eagles Fans
Eagles fans, I know that finding the perfect midnight green can be a challenge (that green is tough to match). But, I’ve got you covered. Here are some great yarn options to create that classic Eagles look, with links to the product.
For Midnight Green:
- Hometown Yarn in Ashland Pine or Baltimore Bay (appears sold out)
Hometown Yarn – Ashland Pine
Hometown Yarn – Baltimore Bay - Charisma® Yarn by Loops & Threads® in Pine
Charisma Yarn – Pine - Lion Brand Wool Ease in Rain Forest (notice this is not not Thick & Quick and therefore not a bulky yarn – you will hold two strands of this lighter weight yarn together to get a similar bulky weight as what is recommended in the pattern; purchase 2 skeins)
Lion Brand Wool Ease – Rain Forest
For Silver/Gray:
- Lion Brand Wool Ease Thick & Quick – Slate
Wool Ease Thick & Quick – Slate - Lion Brand Wool Ease Thick & Quick – Black
Wool Ease Thick & Quick – Black - If you’re using two strands of Lion Brand Wool Ease Rain Forest to match the bulky yarn, here’s a gray option and a black option to complete your color combo:
Avid Eagles fans, I’d love to hear if you’ve found other yarns that are a perfect match for Philly’s midnight green. And, of course, if you crochet a hat, be sure to tag me on Instagram @nickibyrnescrochet!
Let’s get ready for an unforgettable Super Bowl 🏈✨
