How do you make a crochet hat slouchy?
The slouch in a crochet slouch hat generally comes from additional rows beyond what would make the standard hat fit. This slouch beanie crochet pattern is worked from the ribbed brim up to the top of the hat, which I find to be the best method for getting accurate sizing. Using this method, you can continuously check the sizing of your slouch beanie crochet pattern as you work, which allows you to add more or less rows, if desired, to change the amount of “slouch” in your crochet slouchy beanie.
I have made this slouchy crochet hat in a variety of worsted weight yarns, including Red Heart Super Saver, Lion Brand Textures, Lion Brand Amazing, WeCrochet Chroma, and WeCrochet Brava, to name a few. I love the colorful stripes created with variegated yarn. No matter the skein of yarn that you choose, it is always a good idea to check your gauge.
Add this slouchy hat pattern to your favorites and save it to your project queue on Ravelry.
