- Add a cute pom-pom on top for an extra touch of charm.
📌 Crochet Pattern Notes
- Pattern is written in American English terms.
- This beanie’s construction consists of one stretchy headband piece, worked in rows back and forth, seamed together and the body of the hat worked into the sides of the rows of the stretchy hat band. This makes modifying the hat easy to accommodate a variety of head sizes.
- Chains at the beginning of the rounds do not count as stitch.
- Keep your tension very relaxed, if you need you can use one size bigger crochet hook.
- Weave in ends as needed.

- 5mm size crochet hook
- Scissors

Terminology (US Terms):
- ch = chain
- st = stitch
- sl st = slip stitch
- sc = single crochet
- scblo = single crochet back loop only
- dc = double crochet
- yo = yarn over
- sk = skip
Gauge: 16 sc blo sts /13 rows = 4” /10 cm (in the brim)
Crochet Stitches Used
Slip Stitch (sl st): Insert hook into designated stitch, YO (yarn over) and pull back through the st and through the loop on the hook.
Single crochet (sc): insert your hook into designated stitch, YO and pull up a loop, YO and pull through two loops on the hook.
Double crochet (dc): YO, insert your hook into designated stitch, YO and pull up a loop, YO and pull through two loops, YO and pull through remaining two loops on the hook.
Special stitches:
Single crochet back loop only (scblo): when you crochet a row of single crochet stitches and look at the top, you’ll see how those little Vs form the stitches you crochet into. When you hold the piece of crochet in front of you with the Vs on top, the part of the V closest to you is the front loop. The part of the V farther away from you on the opposite side is the back loop. To crochet in the back loop of a stitch, insert your crochet hook underneath the back loop only and make the stitch as indicated in the pattern.
Double Crochet Decrease (dc2tog): Yarn over hook., insert hook into next stitch, yarn over, pull the yarn through the stitch. There should be three loops on your hook, yarn over.Pull the yarn through the first two stitches. There should now be two loops on your hook. Leave those two loops on the hook, yarn over and insert your hook into the next stitch, yarn over and pull through the first two stitches. There should be three loops on the hook, yarn over and pull through all three stitches.

Women Large Slouch Hat Pattern (23”/58 cm circumference/9.5 – 10”/24 -25 cm height)
The elastic band (using color A): chain 13.
Note: this pattern is for simple brim. If you desire to make a folded double brim, then chain a double number of chains and follow the pattern.
Row 1: Sc in 2nd ch from hook. Sc in each chain stitch to the end of the chain (12 sc sts).
Starting row 2, we’ll be working all the stitches in the back loop only. To avoid loops at the edge, the last stitch of each row will be worked using both top.
Row 2: Ch 1 and turn, scblo in the first stitch and in each st across, working the last st using both top loops. (11 scblo, 1 sc)
Row 3 – 75: repeat row 2.
The band should wrap comfortably ar ound your head at this point. If it seems too big, or you want a tighter hat you are welcome to leave off some of the final rows. If you want a little larger, add some more rows to the desired length. Always remember the rows count should be a multiple of 5 to to maintain the same stitch count as the pattern calls for.
Do not cut yarn! Continue with the Seam!
THE SEAM: Fold the piece into half, hold row 1 edge above the last row edge. Chain 1 and slip stitch the short sides together inserting the hook through the back loops of the first side and through the unworked loops of the foundation chain .
Chain 1 and flip the band inside out.
