The Trendy Slouch Crochet Pattern #211 is made with worsted weight medium, size 4 yarn. The pictures are shown using Red Heart Super Saver in Aran Fleck. This design is fun to make in so many solids, varigated, flecked, etc. yarns. Red Heart With Love and Lion Brand Yarns Vanna’s Choice are other great super soft and fluffy size 4 yarns to use.

Advanced Beginner
Please read all directions before beginning project.
Size: Teen/Adult Women…this hat will fit many head sizes due to its stretch.
Materials List:
-Medium/Worsted Weight Yarn , 1 skein (Pictures are shown using Red Heart Super Saver in Aran Fleck)…I also tend to use Lion Brand Yarns Vanna’s Choice yarn for this style.
–US K/10 ½ /6.50 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), or small hook for weaving short tails
Gauge:
The gauge is 12 dc X 7 ½ rows = 4 in x 4 in
Notes:
-Make sure you are joining directly into the top of the Ch, at the end of each round. You will have 2 strands above hook and 1 below. Do NOT join into the gap between the Ch and the next st. Joining into the gap will create a hole.
-* means repeat what is between them
-Ch=chain, sc= single crochet, dc= double crochet, sl st= slip stitch, st(s)= stitch(es)
-Count your stitches after each round to be sure you do not miss a stitch (the first stitch after the Ch is often overlooked because it is tighter).
Instructions:
- An inexpensive, printer-friendly, PDF version is available here, if you prefer… along with my complete portfolio of all of my original crochet patterns.
