Pretty Simple Slouch Hat Crochet Pattern

October 2, 2015 · Rhelena · 2 Comments

This slouch hat crochet pattern features a very simple, yet pretty stitch pattern that you’ll enjoy wearing in the cooler weather.

It is shown here in a solid color, but you could do rainbows, other color patterns, or whatever striped design you like. You could even use up any of your scrap yarns.

The crochet slouch hat works up quick and easy, and is pretty mindless once you get going on it. And that makes it the perfect go-to pattern for making gifts or for selling at craft fairs.

The Stitch Pattern

This crochet hat is worked up from the bottom to the top. First, the ribbing is worked in rows until it reaches comfortable around the head. Then you join the ribbing and begin working in rounds.

The body of the hat is a multiple of two. It is worked simply with half double crochet stitches. The first round is with 2 half doubles in one stitch, then skip a stitch. For the next round, the two half doubles are worked in between the previous set as shown below.

The Finished Size

The easy slouch hat crochet pattern provides instructions for a teen/adult small sized hat. But in a simple multiple of two, you can easily adjust this to any size from baby to adult. Here is a hat sizing chart to help take the guesswork out.

The Yarn

I used Vanna’s Choice, which is a medium worsted weight yarn. It is soft and results in a nice stretchy fabric, which is always a bonus for a hat.

And if you like this , you might also enjoy more designs in the ‘pretty simple‘ series.

Special Stitch Instructions

  • When you work 2 hdc's into the same stitch or space, think of these as a set. Then when you crochet your next round and the pattern says "2 hdc in sp before next hdc", work the 2 hdc's in the middle of (or in between) the hdc set.
