Crochet Slouchy Hat Free Pattern Free Pattern Slouchy Hat

I want to give you the Free Pattern of Crochet Slouchy Hat as a present for being always supporting me.

I designed this hat with all my love and care because I wanted to give it a s a present to you.

I’ve always thought that caps and hats didn’t fit me. But I like them and I have always wantedto wear them in winter. I have been inspired by those hats that are slouchy and that are made with two needles. I decided to make a hat that looked like it was knitted and would make all face types look good, even long ones like mine. I really liked the result, it makes me look good and comfortable while being warm.

It is very easy to make as you use Chunky yarn and will fit you . You also have video tutorials for stitches and special techniques and even a diagram.

If you want the pattern in PDF you have it in my Ravelry store for a very economic price. I will appretiate your support to my project if you buy it. Thank you!

Here you have the free pattern, I hope you like it as much as I did:

Construction Notes:

•The hat is made in one piece using turning rows, starting from the side. The final piece is of the rectangular shape with a narrowing at one end (at the top of the hat).

•The top of the hat is worked using short and extended rows. Short row – is an unfinished row worked with current design (a certain amount of stitches are left unworked). Then you ch 1 and turn the item and the work is continued in the other direction.

•CH 1 at the end of each row does not count as the first ST of following Row

•Place Stitch Markers at the beginning and end of each row, for not to miss any stitch.

•Short rows are used to shape the hat.( see special techniques) •The hat is made of one main part that is repeated as many times as needed to fit your head. The pattern is for a woman with a head circunference of 55 to 58 cm. If you wanted bigger or smaller just repeat more or les from Row 2 to 13.
