I have finished writing the Ninjago hat pattern! I’m so excited because this is my first pattern, and now I feel like I am contributing to the online world of free patterns 😊. I hope this is understandable for everyone, and not just my crazy brain! If you notice any mistakes, or have any questions, please don’t hesitate to contact me!
If you love this hat, but don’t want to make it, you can find it in my shop here
*You may sell finished hats made from this pattern, but do not sell the pattern. If you sell these hats online, I ask that you please post a link back to the pattern 🙂

Pattern looks good to me but you might want to add which yarn you used and which hook, and maybe even what your gauge was, .
Thank you! I just updated it with the materials list 🙂
Wow, thanks for the pattern. We are attending my son’s friend’s bday party in 3 weeks and the theme is Ninjago too. This would make a great addition to his gift, thank you:)

Hi, I was wondering if you could explain how or when to attach the yellow face part, im confused do I make the yellow part separate and then attach or do I join yarn and crochet all together. thank you
You join it in the beginning with a slip stitch, then continue making the yellow part.
Thank you 🙂
What is BLO?
BLO stands for back loop only. Here’s a good explanation of how to do it:

Round 14-17, how do you get sides to join up under rectangle??
I’m sorry, I thought I had already fixed that error! I will edit it now so it will make sense 🙂
Hooray!! Thank you so much. My little Ninjago loving birthday boy is going to love this. 🙂
You’re welcome!
I promised my nephew a new winter hat, and this is perfect! Thanks for sharing this pattern as it combines my to favourite things, lego and crochet. 🙂
Hey I love this. This year Im making hand made gifts I just had 1question does the (ch 1) count as a hdc??
I love giving and receiving handmade gifts! The ch 1 does not count as a stitch.
I’m a little confused on eyebrow (2dc) after the sc what exactly does that mean , I’m stuck
(2dc) means 2 double crochets into one stitch
