We've pulled together all of our favorite handmade hat projects, including knitted winter caps and shady summer toppers. There's one for everyone, no matter the season.
Keep little ones toasty with this winsome felt hat.
With just a can of silver spray paint, you can transform a humble straw hat into a chic make-it-yourself summer accessory.
It wouldn't be spin to describe this craft as ridiculously easy, although in some ways that's exactly what you do with a Knitwit: Spin (well, wrap) thread around a circular or square-shaped tool to create loopy rosettes. Rendered with luxurious yarns such as mohair, these florets look decidedly modern.
A teddy bear toque insulates your infant from the chill -- and provides a cheerful playmate.
Monogram plain winter hats with a simple technique called needle felting.
Get baby ready to fight the winter chill: a festive pilot's cap embellished with felt hearts helps keep tiny ears toasty.
Cut two large hearts from felt. Then use a needle and thread to stitch them to the cap at three points. If you want the decoration to be permanent, affix hearts with fabric glue before sewing.
Though at first glance, knitting looks like a complicated trick, it is in fact a surprisingly easy technique to learn. This hat is a great project to start with.
Whether you use a baseball cap or sailor's hat to make this headgear, your kids will love wearing it -- and their delicate skin will be protected from the sun. An island paradise complete with pretty shells, the most evil shark in the sea, and a bright (but slightly befuddled) lobster will sit just right on young silly heads everywhere.
Upcycle an old felted sweater and make it into something new, such as one of these adorable hats.
Turn a plain straw beach hat into a bright, sunny creation using touches of raffia.
Add a fun touch to your wardrobe with this lovely woolen beret.
Kids will love these adorable and fun-to-make felt hats, inspired by "Party Animals," a children's book by Kathie Lee Gifford.
Keep little ones warm all winter with these easy-to-make fleece hats.
