Super Bowl Sunday is almost here! 🏈
This weekend it’s the New England Patriots vs. the Seattle Seahawks, which means it’s the perfect excuse to talk about crochet… specifically, crochet football hat patterns.
If you’ve been looking for a crochet hat pattern for game day, this one is right up your alley.
I shared the story behind my New England Patriots–inspired crochet hat in my last blog post (you can read that here:
https://nickibyrnescrochet.com/2026/01/25/its-super-bowl-season-and-yes-were-crocheting-for-it/), but I wanted to share updated photos and make it easy to find the pattern itself.
This is a cozy, wearable crochet beanie pattern designed with bold stripes and clean lines. While it’s Patriots-inspired, the pattern is completely customizable. You can easily swap out the colors to match your favorite team, school, or even a non-sports palette.
The classic red, white, and blue color combo also makes this pattern a great option for the Winter Olympics this year. Same pattern, different sports event! 🥇🥈🏅

More Crochet Hat Patterns for Sports Fans
Another new pattern I just published is my Indiana University Hoosiers crochet hat pattern:

And while winter hats aren’t exactly essential or common in Alabama, I published one for University of Alabama fans as well. There are so many Alabama alums here in Cincinnati and other northern states, so it felt wrong not to include them too:

A Customizable Crochet Hat Pattern You’ll Use Again
All of these designs are based on the same versatile construction, which means once you’ve made one, you can easily make more. Different yarn, different colors, different teams—same cozy, reliable fit.
If you’re a crocheter looking for:
- a crochet football hat pattern
- a customizable crochet beanie
- or a sports-themed crochet project that’s actually wearable
this pattern was designed with you in mind.
Will you be rooting for the Patriots, the Seahawks, or the commercials? Either way, it’ll be the perfect excuse to curl up with a crochet project.
