Meredith Slouch Hat Pattern
Materials
- Size 2 weight yarn
- Chunky weight yarn
- 4mm crochet hook & hook to match chunky yarn
- Buttons (optional)
- Scissors
- Darning needle
Notes
- You will need two different weights of yarn (for help with buying yarn or understanding yarn weights). Fingering weight and chunky. I am using a size 2 wool blend from a local farm and Loops & Threads Charisma. Use whatever you have!
- I used crochet hooks to match the recommendation on my yarn Use whatever you are comfortable with. Remember, the larger the hook the more your slouch hat will drape.
- The main portion is crocheted with your fine yarn and 4mm hook, and the band is crocheted with your chunky yarn and it's recommendation.
- The buttons are optional... they are the embellishment I used for this particular hat. Feel free to add anything you'd like!!
- Be wise when choosing your hook and crocheting tension, the hat will stretch over time!!
Hat Body
Row 1- Begin with a mr and dc 12.Row 2- 2 dc in each st.
Row 3- *Dc, 2 dc in next. Rep from * to end.
Row 4- *Dc in next 2, 2 dc in following. Rep from * to end.
Row 5- *Dc in next 3, 2 dc in following. Rep from * to end.
Row 6- *Dc in next 4, 2 dc in following. Rep from * to end.
Row 7- *Dc in next 5, 2 dc in following. Rep from * to end.
Row 8- Dc in each st around.
9 to End- Keep on rep row 8 until your hat has the desired slouch you want. Keep in mind that the forehand will add about 2 or so inches to your project. Fasten off.
Hat Brim/Band
For the brim... take your 6mm hook and thicker yarn. Tie on your yarn in any random stitch.Row 1- Ch 9.
Row 2- Sc in 2nd ch from hk. On the hat,skip on stitch,sl st into the next.You might find its easier to skip 2.
Row 3- Ch 1, turn. Sc into the back loops(bl) only. By doing this you're creating a ribbed effect.
Row 4- Ch 1, turn. Sc in bl. Join to hat like we did in row 2.
Row 5 to End- Rep rows 3 and 4 until you've reached all the way around the hat. Fasten off with long tail left.
Once I finished, I stitched the two together, the starting chain and final row, now I had made a complete circle around the body. If you wish to add any embellishments this is the time to do so!!
