Materials Needed

• Crochet Hook: 9mm crochet hook
• Gauge: 7 stitches and 8 rows = 4 inches in pattern stitch

Step-by-Step Instructions

1. Start with a Magic Ring: Create a magic ring by wrapping the yarn around your fingers and pulling a loop through. This will be the foundation for your hat.
2. Round 1: Chain 2 (this counts as your first double crochet), then work 11 double crochets (dc) into the magic ring. To close the round, join with a slip stitch (sl st) to the top of the chain-2. You should have a total of 12 stitches.
3. Round 2: Chain 2, then work a front post double crochet (fpdc) around each double crochet from the previous round. Join with a slip stitch to the top of the chain-2. You will still have 12 stitches in this round.
4. Round 3: Chain 2, then *fpdc around the next stitch, followed by a double crochet in the next stitch; repeat from * around the round. Join with a slip stitch to the top of the chain-2. Now you should have 24 stitches.
5. Round 4: Chain 2, then repeat the pattern from Round 3: *fpdc around the next stitch, dc in the next stitch; repeat from * around. Join with a slip stitch to the top of the chain-2. You will still have 24 stitches.
6. Continue Rounds: Keep repeating Round 4 until your hat measures approximately 10 inches from the start. This will give your hat the perfect slouchy fit.
7. Finish Up: Once your hat reaches the desired length, fasten off your yarn and weave in any loose ends using a yarn needle. This will give your hat a clean, polished look.
