Crochet: Treble Slouch Hat FREE PATTERN

Okay wow this hat was actually a huge pain to make. It took FOREVER, only because I went through a billion designs before I stayed on one. If I had just stuck with the one design I picked in the end, it probably would have taken me half a day at most. It's actually a pretty design, and builds up quickly, so it's a perfect project for beginners!

At first I started with a puff stitch, but I don't think I was doing it right, so it didn't look very good. I then tried each basic stitch in a number of different designs until I settled on one.

I'm using American terminology

Crochet hook: H

Medium worsted weight yarn

Stitches used:

Slip stitch (sl st)

Double crochet (dc)

Treble crochet (tr)

Back loop only (BLO)

Row 1: Chain 11, DC in second ch from hook, continue to end. Ch 1 and turn.

Row 2: Dc in BLO to end, ch 1 and turn. Repeat row 2 until you have a strip that is long enough to stretch around your head. Make sure it's snug, because it will stretch out after a few wears.

Row 3: Ch 4 (this will count as your first tr), tr in next two st, ch 2 and skip a st. [tr in next 3 st, ch 2 and skip a st] Repeat "[ ]" to the end. Sl st into top of ch 4 to finish row.

Repeat row 3 until it reaches the length you like. Try it on and hold the top together to see what it might look like and feel like, and make it as snug or as slouchy as you would like. I did 12 rows, where it wasn't too slouchy and wasn't too snug. 

To finish, turn inside out and pull up a loop through each chain space. When there is too many stitches on the loop to pull any more through, yarn over and pull through each loop. Keep doing this until your hat it securely tied off at the top. Finish with your preferred finishing method and weave in ends.

Super simple project for beginners and it comes out so nice! This is my first pattern, so let me know if you made it and feel free to ask any questions in the comments below!

Crochet: Slouchy Summer Hat

This has to be one of my favorite hats I have made so far. This is SUCH a cute hat and one I am so proud of. I plan to make at LEAST 2 more for myself and my mom. I think the color I used helped as well.

I used a pattern from Ravelry found here. This pattern was actually really easy and worked up really fast. I love the textures on it and love that it's not too thick. It's definitely a perfect hat for summer.

I did do things a bit different with this hat. For Rows 5, 11 and 12, I did a pattern on and off of BLO. Row 5 was BLO, row 11 was normal, and row 12 was BLO again. When I finished row 14, I realized it wasn't slouchy enough (the gauge was being weird) so I repeated rows 8-14 until I was satisfied with the slouch and did row 15 in the opposite of the previous row. (depending on if it was BLO or not)

Halfway through the pattern, I realized it also required knitting. Which I cannot do. (yet) So instead of knitting the headband, once I was done making the main part of the hat, I chained 11 and did 10 dc in BLO and ch 1 until it was long enough to stretch around my whole head, then with the hat inside out, I used sc to stitch it to the hat. I'm sure it would work just as good (if not better) with a sl st as well.Then I just finished it in my preferred way and wove in the ends.

I also ended up making a second hat which turned out better than the first. I unfortunately can't remember what I did differently, but I didn't have to repeat any rows. I didn't realize that until I was done though, because it turned out too slouchy and I have to fold the band back in order for it to not look like a fashionable hair net.

This hat is perfect for people who are beginners with knowledge of the basic three stitches. It's simple, but looks fantastic. I recommend you give it a try!
