The Winter Hat is a wearable Dress item. It requires 4 Beefalo Wool and 4 Silk to craft and an Alchemy Engine to prototype. The Sewing Kit repairs 50% of its durability.

It restores 1.33 Sanity per minute while worn.

It is a tier 2 warm clothing, increasing the time a character can be without a fire during the Winter before Freezing. It has an insulation factor of 120.

The Winter Hat can be given to a Pig or Bunnyman to wear, which provides no effect. It will still lose durability while worn.

Trivia

• The Winter Hat was added in the Long Live the Queen update.
• The Winter Hat was used to start a snowing effect, with no practical use besides the visuals. This effect was removed as of A Winter's Tale update, when Winter became a feature. Its crafting description during this time was "There must be some magic in it...".
• The Winter Hat used to cost 100 points under the old Research Points system. Adding it into a Science Machine or Alchemy Engine would give the player 10 points.
• Klei Entertainment made a product themed after the winter hat. It also comes in dark grey and two versions of pink: one has a Klei logo, while the other has a Don't Starve logo. They all include codes to unlock the corresponding colored Winter Hat Skins in Don't Starve Together.
• In Rhymes with Play Ep. 53, artist Kelly Graham stated that the hat's design is based on her father's hat from the 70s which she found in the basement.
