Fall is the perfect time to cuddle up with your yarn and crochet hooks and make something cozy. Today I have a simple slouch crochet hat pattern for you all. This crochet hat pattern is great for beginners, and simple enough that a more experienced crocheter could whip up a hat in just a couple of hours.
Here’s what you will need to make your own!
Slouch Crochet Hat Pattern Supplies:
- Darice Silky Soft worsted weight yarn
- Size J (6.0 mm) crochet hook
- Yarn needle
- 3/8″ grosgrain ribbon (optional)
- Sewing machine or needle and thread
Simple Slouch Crochet Hat Pattern.
Rnd 1: Starting with a magic loop, ch 3 (counts as dc), 11 dc in magic loop, sl st to join, pull to tighten (12 dc).
Rnd 2: ch 3, dc in same st, 2 dc in each st around, sl st to join (24 dc).
Rnd 3: ch 3, 2 dc in next st, * dc, 2 dc, repeat from * around, sl st to join (36 dc).
Rnd 4: ch 3, dc, 2 dc, * dc, dc, 2 dc, repeat from * around, sl st to join (48 dc).
Rnd 5: ch 3, dc, dc, 2 dc, * dc, dc, dc, 2 dc, repeat from * around, sl st to join (60 dc).
Rnds 6-16: ch 3, dc in each st around, sl st to join (60 dc).
Rnd 17: Work in back loops only, ch 1, sc in each st around, sl st to join (60 sc).
Rnds 18-19: Repeat Rnd 17. Finish off, weave in ends.
At this point, your crochet hat pattern is complete! Unless you want to give one more fun little detail. I added a little grosgrain ribbon tag to the brim of my hat.
To make your own ribbon tag, cut a piece of ribbon 4-5 inches long. You could attach the ribbon plain or add a design to the ribbon. If you have a sewing machine, this is a great time to play around with some of the special stitches. I added two triangles to my ribbon.
After you have sewn a design onto your ribbon, all you need to do is attach the ribbon tag to the hat. Simply fold the ribbon over the brim of the hat and sew it on. I found it was easier to attach the tag using a needle and thread instead of my sewing machine.
Different color ribbons and yarn plus different embroidery options mean you can customize and personalize this crochet hat pattern pretty easily – perfect for the holiday gift giving!
I did it!! The first crochet project I ever finished! Lol after 2 false starts. The first was cone like, the 2nd a pancake… both abandoned lol 3rd times the charm! Made the band around the bottom a bit tight tho. But who cares! I finished it! Lol
Thanks for the pattern!
Congrats on your project Marilyn! Doesn’t matter how many times it took as long as you are happy with the outcome!
Thanks! I’m trying it again, but with thicker yarn/bigger crochet hook. Would I have to do less rounds?
I would only adjust the rounds if the yarn is significantly thicker. You may be able to tell as you start out.
Can I use red heart worsted weight yarn for this project? I have some leftover from a previous project.
Hi Rachel, yes any worsted weight yarn should work for this project!
Is this US or U.K. Terms?
Hi Tina, I’m not familiar with the difference in US and UK crochet terms but we are located in the US, so I’m assuming Alexis used US terms in the post.
Hi! Thank you for designing such a great beanie pattern, it’s my new favorite and the beanies are so comfortable! I was wondering if I could please get your permission to sell beanies that I make from this pattern?
Thanks again 🙂
Hi Ellen, per Alexis: “You are free to sell items you make using the pattern, but please do not sell or redistribute the pattern itself.”
Hi! I have made this hat using this pattern before and it turned out great! I am trying it again to make for a gift but its been a while since I have crocheted. When you DC in rounds more specifically once you start on Row 6 and onward, does your ch 3 count as one DC? Thanks!
HI there,
Love your finished product.
I have a question regarding rows 4 and 5 of the pattern
Row 4 ch 3, 2 dc, *dc, dc, 2dc repeat etc….
Does this mean 4 dc in total in the * ?
Please help I can’t understand.
Thank you
Just made this, and I love it! It fits perfectly. Thank you!
I’ve made this hat for my daughter who has undergone chemo but I think it needs to be larger. How could I make it a little larger?
just finished this pattern and it’s super cute! and easy, too! thanks for sharing. do you have a problem with someone selling the finished product?
Hi Brenda! I’m glad you liked the pattern. You are free to sell items you make using the pattern, but please do not sell or redistribute the pattern itself. 🙂
Thanks for the pattern 🙂 Super cute and easy.
Hi i was wandering if u used only one ball of yarn and where i could find it thx.
Pattern should only use about half of a ball of yarn, depending on what brand you are using. Most skeins have approximately 235 yards.
Hi LOVE the look of this hat! I was just wondering if i could get the gauge for this hat. I believe i tend to crochet on the tight side &i just want to make sure it comes out the right size. THANKS again for this free pattern.
Thank you so much I have been looking for a beanie to make like this. It’s fitted and cozy! Made one for my step mom and I already!
Hello,
I love this pattern! Would you be able to provide the expected gauge? My first attempt at this hat resulted in a very small hat. Still learning! 🙂
Thanks!
This pattern is so wonderful, thank you for sharing! I made a couple of these for Christmas gifts and they were a total hit. I’m now working on one for myself. This pattern is one that is so simple & so perfect, it’s almost comforting. I love to crochet this when I need to get my mind off other things.
My favorite yarn to crochet this up with is Red Heart Soft. I had written off Red Heart long ago, and was pleasantly surprised by the quality and softness of that yarn! The hat turns out beautifully and super soft yarn gives it the perfect slouch. Thanks again!
Ok so i love this hat…. but i am just teaching myself to crochet… and everytime i do the slip stitch to join i end up having a hole in between the two.. is that normal or am i messing it up? I counted and i have the right amount of stitches everytime… please help!!!
In response, instead of slip stitch around the post, you should slip stitch into the top chain of the chain 3. This should alleviate the space. If you still have a problem after trying this, try doing a chain 3 and DC in the same stitch, once you crochet around, slip stitch into the top of the DC, instead of the CH3. Ignore the CH3 all together. Don’t count it as a stitch. 🙂 Hope this helps 🙂
Absolutely love this pattern! Would it be ok if I sold the finished product?
Wearing mine right now! Love it :). Thanks for the great pattern!
thanks for this tutorial. try this…now snow was falling… right time to use a beanie like this..
watch on my blog,too….
happy new year from germany
Thank you! This was the first pattern I followed (I’ve only been doing crochet for about one month) and it turned out great! I made a few beginner’s mistakes, but i’m still truly pleased with the results. I really like the final touch with the grosgrain ribbon!
hi
Iam having a problem when I join. Iam un sure where to join on each round . My joining line in going on angel . what iam I doing wrong . help me . I love the hat and everything else is working out .
thanks
I love this pattern! I am wondering Alexis where you bought your crochet hooks from? I tried looking for this yarn but was unable to on the Darice website. Do you have a shop on etsy?
Try hobby lobby for the crochet hooks:)
I love this, Easy peasy and the tag will be so cute to add. I just got my haircut in a pixie style so wearing hats has become so much fun. Thank you so much for posting this,I will be busy all day having fun.
WOW!! Huge thanks for sharing this pattern! I love the idea of crochet hats as I find them so attractive, but until now, I have never found a pattern that actually fit my head right {without the use of bobbypins}. I just finished one of these this morning, and it turned out so brilliantly, I’m using it the rest of this season!
Thanks a million!
This is exactly what I’ve been wanting to make!
I love the added ribbon tag !
Thank you so much for sharing the pattern 🙂
