The Slopes Slouch Hat is a free crochet pattern, here on my blog! It is an easy slouchy beanie pattern for a beginner crocheter. It will fit teens and adults and has lots of stretch ability to accommodate many head circumferences. This easy to crochet, thick slouchy hat pattern –The Slopes Slouch Hat– uses single crochet and back loop single crochet stitches. The slouch portion of the hat is more of a formed slouch verses free flowing.

Please read all directions before beginning project.
Size: Teen Girls/Adult Women …this hat will fit many head sizes due to its stretch.
Materials List:
-Super Bulky (size 6) Weight Yarn, 1 skein (Pictures are shown using Lion Brand Yarns Wool-Ease Thick & Quick in Charcoal, which has 106 yards per skein)
–US N-9.00 mm crochet hook …check gauge…feel free to change hook size to get the correct gauge. Gauge is very important.
–Tapestry Needle (for weaving in ends)
Gauge:
The gauge is approximately 8 sc X 9 rows = 4 in x 4 in
Notes:
-For R1-R21: Make sure you are joining into the first sc.
-* means repeat what is between them
-ch=chain, sc= single crochet, bl= back loop, dec= decrease, sl st= slip stitch, st(s)= stitch(es)
-Count your stitches after each round to be sure you do not miss a stitch
Special Stitch:
bl sc dec: back loop single crochet decrease (often called sc2tog using back loop)= Insert your hook into the back loop of the next st, YO and draw the yarn through the st, insert your hook into the back loop of the next st, YO and draw the yarn through the st, YO and draw the yarn through all 3 loops on your hook…this will equal 1 complete back loop single crochet decrease
