Updated:

10 Oct 2022

The best part of creating a character in any game is customization. The hats in Stardew Valley are no exception, except they don’t offer any stat bonuses. What makes these cosmetic clothing items much more valuable is how you go about obtaining these items.

The many ways of achieving hats include purchasing them from shops and completing tasks–some more silly than others. If you want to look your best, you will get quite involved with the community. These are the top 10 Stardew Valley hats and how to obtain them.

10. Golden Mask

How to obtain the Golden Mask

Stardew Valley offers a variety of locations you can visit. The Calico Desert, one of the smaller locations, contains The Oasis Shop, which sells exotic seeds. While playing Indiana Jones in the desert, you might come across the Golden Mask. Now, you can donate the mask to the museum or become the Toa of Light.

How to obtain:

Find the Golden Mask artifact by digging up Artifact spots in the Desert.
Take the Golden Mask and a piece of cloth to Emily’s house and use the sewing machine.

9. Propeller Hat

How to obtain the Propeller Hat

With a goofy hat and a propeller, you can now pretend you’re a helicopter. The weirdest part about the Propeller Hat is not the mini rotors on top, but how you obtain the item. You must earn the Miner’s Treat recipe by reaching mining level three. You would think you would get a miner’s hat instead.

How to obtain:

Earn the Miner's Treat recipe by reaching mining level three.
Prepare in your kitchen with two Cave Carrots, one Sugar, and one Milk.
Combine the Miner’s Treat and a piece of cloth with Emily’s sewing machine.
???
Profit.

8. Witch Hat

How to obtain the Witch Hat

Grab some green makeup and a pointy nose, and you will be one step closer to being the Wicked Witch of the West. Instead of selling your Golden Pumpkin that you probably stole from the Fairy Godmother, you can bring it over to Emily’s to obtain the Witch Hat.

How to obtain:

Obtain a Golden Pumpkin from the Spirit’s Eve Festival by completing the maze.
Grab a piece of cloth and combine both items with Emily’s sewing machine.

7. Magic Cowboy Hat

How to obtain the Magic Cowboy Hat

This item might look like a tinfoil hat, but you can become Tonto’s best friend with this hat. Shimmering with prismatic energy, the Magic Cowboy Hat is obtained only on odd-numbered calendar days in exchange for some hard-earned Omni Geodes. Visit the Desert Trader in the Calico Desert, and you’re one step closer to living your dream in the wild wild west.

How to obtain:

Find 333 Omni Geodes by breaking rocks in The Mines.
Travel to the Calico Desert and visit the Desert Trader on an odd-numbered calendar day.

6. Magic Turban

How to obtain the Magic Turban

The Magic Cowboy Hat isn’t the only hat shimmering with prismatic energy. The Magic Turban is sold alongside the shining item at the Desert Trader’s shop. Unlike the cowboy hat, the turban can only be purchased on even-numbered calendar days. Now you can keep cool while pillaging the hot and humid desert.
