This is a beanie/slouch hat I made for a friend, so I decided I better upload the pattern! I am very happy with how it turned out. There is no gauge, because I didn't think it really needed one, but just let me know if there's a problem with the pattern! I made it simple, so you can adjust the pattern however you want.
Don't just sit there! Go nuts! :D

You Will Need (3 things)

  • 5 ½ mm Crochet Hook
  • 1 skein Worsted Weight Yarn
  • 2 Blunt Tapestry Needle

Steps (3 steps, 90 minutes)

  1. 1

    This isn't a step, but these are my abbreviations.

    ABBREVIATIONS:
    Dc= double crochet
    Sc= single crochet
    Sl st= slip stitch
    BPdc= back-post double crochet
    FPdc= front-post double crochet
    Dc2tog= double crochet 2 stitches together (one decrease)

    Because the hat is striped, each row will say "color A" or "color B"
    at the beginning specifying which color I used. For my hat, color "A" is green, and color "B" is black.
