Free Slouch Hat Crochet Pattern

 

“Miranda” Adult Slouch Hat

 

This free slouch hat crochet pattern was inspired by a great women, who helped me tremendously and formatted this blog for me, Miranda of Work at Home Adventures. She is the sister to fellow hooker Corina Gray of Stitch 11. Corina and Miranda are also joint owners of the new up and coming free crochet pattern directory The Yarn Box.

 

This slouch hat is an intermediate pattern but can easily be modified for a beginner by changing a few stitches {changes will be in brackets}

 

 

 

This pattern is written for adults but you can find the pre-teen to young teen size here (I would estimate that the pre-teen pattern would comfortably fit a 9-14 yo). The sizing is very forgiving because of the design of the hat. More pattern sizes will be coming soon.

 

I have worked this one up using two different types of yarn, Red Heart and Caron’s One Pounder, both work well but I prefer the Caron’s in this application.

 

 

 

Abbreviations and Stitches used:

 

st- stitch

 

sk- skip

 

sp- space

 

mc/r- magic circle/ring

 

sl st- slip stitch

insert hook, yarn over, pull through, (two loops on hook), pull loop closest to hook through other loop

 

ch- chain

 

sc- single crochet (in beginner version only)

insert hook, yarn over, pull through (two loops on hook), yarn over, pull through both loops

 

ps- puff stitch

yarn over, insert hook, pull through, yarn over, insert hook into same space, yarn over, pull through, ( five loops on hook) yarn over and pull through all five loops

 

dc2tog ps- decrease two together puff stitch-

yarn over, insert hook, pull through, yarn over, insert hook into

next

space, yarn over, pull through, ( five loops on hook) yarn over and pull through all five loops

 

dc- double crochet

yarn over, insert hook, yarn over, pull through (three loops on hook), yarn over, pull through first two loops on hook, yarn over and pull through last two loops

 

fpdc- front post double crochet

same as double crochet except hook is inserted behind the post (from back to front) of the previous dc and not in the normal space

 

cs sc- crab stitch single crochet

worked the like a normal single crochet except done in the opposite direction, you will be working backward along the previous row. Loop will need to be slightly loose to accomplish this. Pull up slightly on loop and insert it into the previous space, yarn over and pull through, repeat until end.

 

 

 

Notes:

Like most of my patterns this hat is worked as seamlessly as possible. Instructions are in pattern.

You will know that you are working in the right way because all decreases and increases will end in the last space.

 

 

 

Materials:

Worsted weight acrylic yarn- Red Heart, Caron’s One Pounder, Vanna’s Choice, etc

5.0mm hook

tapestry needle for weaving in ends
