Crochet Slouch Hat

Materials Needed:

Yarn: DK weight yarn (Marina wool recommended for its softness).
Crochet Hook Sizes: 8mm (for the main pattern with DK weight yarn), 6.5mm (for tightening the rim of the hat), and an optional smaller hook for a tighter fit or for children's size.
Other: Scissors, tapestry needle (for weaving in ends), and a stitch marker. An optional pom-pom for decoration.

Pattern Overview:

The tutorial demonstrates a crochet technique for making a versatile, slouchy hat suitable for both adults and children.
It employs the Moss Stitch along with basic crochet stitches like chain (ch), slip stitch (sl st), single crochet (sc), half double crochet (hdc), and double crochet (dc).
The pattern is worked in rounds to create a seamless look.

Pattern Steps:

Starting Ring and Initial Rounds:

Start with a Magic Ring:

Alternatively, chain 4 and join with a slip stitch to form a ring.

Round 1:

Ch 2 (counts as first dc), then make 9 dc into the ring (10 dc including the initial ch 2). Close the round with a sl st.

Round 2:

Work 2 hdc in each stitch around (20 hdc total).

In Round 3:

Work 1 hdc in each stitch around (20 hdc total).

Round 4:

Increase by working 2 hdc in each stitch around (40 hdc total).

Building the Body of the Hat:

Round 5 – 19:

Continue with hdc stitches. For creating the band and shaping the slouch, switch to a 6.5mm hook at Round 9.
Each round maintains the stitch count, but the tighter gauge starts forming the slouchy body of the hat.

Finishing Touches:

Round 20:

Switch to sc for a more tapered edge.

Rounds 21 – 25 (Moss stitch finishing):

Ch 2, skip next stitch, sc in the next stitch, ch 1; repeat from to around and join with a sl st to the first sc.
For subsequent rounds, work sc into the chain space, ch 1, and skip to the next chain space around.

Final Round:

Finish with a round of sc for a clean edge.

Adding a Pom-Pom (Optional):

Attach the pom-pom by threading a yarn needle with a piece of yarn, securing it through the top of the hat, and tying it off on the inside for a snug fit.
