Crochet Umbreon Hat – Free Crochet Pattern
Hey everyone! I decided to whip up another Pokémon themed crochet hat based off of my favorite dark type, Umbreon!
I used Red Heart Super Saver yarn to complete this project, but feel free to use a brand of your choice as long as it’s a medium worsted weight yarn (#4).
The hat pictured above is sized for a teen/small adult (about a 20 inch head circumference and the hat is about 7.75-8 inches tall). If you’re familiar with crocheting hats, you can adjust the size and length of the hat as needed. I have a hat chart here if you need a reference to adjust your hat size accordingly.
The ears are roughly 7 inches tall and about 6.75 inches in circumference, but yours might be slightly bigger or smaller, it just depends on how tight or loose you like to crochet and how firmly you stuff the ear.
Materials Needed:
- 5mm crochet hook
- 4mm crochet hook
- 1 skein of medium worsted weight Red Heart Super Saver Yarn in Black
- <1 skein of medium worsted weight Red Heart Super Saver Yarn in Bright Yellow
- Poly-Fil
- Stitch marker
- Scissors
- Tapestry needle
Abbreviations Used:
- Sc – single crochet
- Hdc – half double crochet
- Ch – chain
- St(s) – stitch(es)
- Sl st – slip stitch
- Sc2tog – single crochet two stitches together
- Mc – magic circle
- * – repeat instructions between *and*
Special Instructions:
Hat
For the hat, I use the magic circle to start, but you can chain 2 and start in the second chain from your hook to create the hat. Totally your choice. I find that the magic circle makes the hole at the top of your hat a little less big
The chain 1 does not count as a stitch. Start your first hdc in the same stitch as the chain 1.
Ears
Continue to work in the round when you reach the end. Do not slip stitch and chain 1. This is where your stitch marker comes in handy to mark the beginning of your rounds.

Cut long piece of yarn for sewing and pull through.You should have something that resembles an oval or ring at this point.
Assembly:
Start by sewing the Umbreon’s ears to the hat. From the top center of the hat, count 5 rounds or holes to the left and attach ear. Do the same for the right side. I like to tie off my yarn on the inside before I cut any excess off, that way they stay a little more secure.
Line Umbreon’s head ring in the lower middle area of the hat and sew with tapestry needle as shown in picture above.
And there it is! Your super cool, dark Umbreon hat is complete!
Thank you for checking out this pattern and have a great day!
