Crochet V-Stitch Slouchy Hat



I am in love with this yarn. I saw an owl hat made with this yarn and I had to order it! I've always liked Lion Brand's Vanna's Choice yarn. It's soft and easy to work with.

I wasn't sure what I was making. I made one similar and forgot to write it down. So I decided to make another one.

To purchase the pattern, please visit my shop at Handmade by Phanessa. You may also request a custom order on this hat (if you do not crochet).

The brim is made going into the back loops only (BLO) and is crocheted as wide as you want the circumference to be.


Apparently have a small adult head. The circumference of my head is about 21 inches and I stopped crocheting when it reached about 16 inches. The band and yarn used was so soft and stretchy. I've made hats before where I thought I needed more length and it ended up being too loose after wearing it a few times because it stretched so much.

The brim is then sewn together and the hat is worked from bottom up.





Once desired height is reached, you just cinch it up and weave in all the ends!




 

When I made this "rust" colored one. I added double crochets on top and decreased until it got small enough to close up. It doesn't have the same bunched up look on top.
