Clustered V-Stitch Chunky Crochet Hat Pattern

November 5, 2021 · Rhelena · Leave a Comment

This chunky crochet hat pattern is worked up in the clustered v-stitch using a bulky yarn. It works up super quick, making it ideal for a last-minute gift or for selling at craft fairs.

The stitches are nice and big due to the bulky yarn. It’s also a bit of an open stitch, which makes this great for the not-too-cold weather in the fall and spring. And in the winter when it’s freezing cold, this is perfect underneath a hood for a bit of extra warmth. Another option would be to line it for a super cozy winter hat.

I chose to leave mine without, but you can easily add a faux fur pom pom to add more style to this beanie. Or make your own using this tutorial: How To Make a Pom Pom I like the idea of making your own because then you can use the same yarn and have everything match up.

The Stitch Pattern

This crochet beanie pattern is started at the bottom and worked to the top until you have the desired length. At which point a few decrease rounds are worked to bring it all together for a nice close at the top.

The bottom is worked in a rib stitch. It is worked in rows until you reach a nice length to fit comfortably around the head. The ribs are created simply by crocheting into the back loops only. The ribbing is then joined to form a circle.

Then you begin working in rounds along the edge of the ribbing. One stitch is worked into each end of the ribbing row.

The main stitch pattern is the clustered v-stitch. Each cluster is basically just a double crochet decrease. Then to make the v-stitch, work a cluster, chain two, and another cluster into the same stitch or chain.

The Size

The finished size is 18.5 inches in circumference by 10.5 inches long. I like my slouchies nice and long to give me room at the back when I put my hair in a bun. But you can always make yours shorter if you like by doing fewer repeats of pattern round 3.

As for the circumference, it too, is easy to customize in any multiple of four as you crochet the ribbing. To determine the circumference that you need, simply measure your head and then make your hat about 2 inches smaller than your head circumference. Here is a Crochet Hat Size Chart by Age to help take the guess work out if you’re making this for someone else.

If you’re making this hat for a baby or child, you may wish to reduce the width of the ribbing.

Recommended Yarn

I used Loops and Threads Charisma yarn, which is a bulky weight yarn. It’s super soft to work with and oh so comfortable to wear! It works well with an 8 mm crochet hook, but if you crochet tight or if you just want something with even more drape, a 9 mm works too.

I love the bulky yarn for this stitch because it makes the stitches look nice and big!

You only need one skein of yarn to make this chunky hat in the size as given. If you plan on increasing the size, you’ll need a second skein as I had next to none left over.
