How to Make a Crochet Slouch Hat

My daughter loves to crochet. During the winter months when there is not a lot to do, you will find the both of us on the sofa making gifts for people and items for ourselves. Her latest creation is a slouch hat. Here is how to make a crochet slouch hat.

This super simple slouch hat is perfect for beginners (which is what my daughter is), but it’s also fun for the intermediate crocheter who wants to whip up something quick and cute.

Supplies:

• Medium/Worsted Weight yarn
• US H8/5.00mm
• US G6/4.00mm
• Tapestry needle (for weaving in ends)

Begin with magic loop (click here to watch a how-to video).

DC = Double crochet

STS = stitches

ST = Stitch

SS = Slip Stitch

SC = Single Crochet

Fasten off.
