Here’s a Hat They Won’t Want To Take Off: Emily’s Super Slouchy Crochet Hat

Inside: This playful hat can be worn with the brim folded up or left down. It is super slouchy, so even with the brim folded up, there is still some slouch left, and your ears will be toasty warm. I’m a big fan of warm ears!

After posting Emily’s Super Slouchy Knit Hat, I had quite a few requests for a crochet version, so here it is! I had a fun deciding how to get a similar look in crochet. In the end, I went with post stitches, which do a good job of getting that contrasting look between knits and purls, while still being crochet.

My 16 year old daughter has now claimed this hat. She wears it almost every day, even inside. Several of her friends want one in other colors.

In addition to color changing yarn, try using a solid. You could also make the bottom ribbed section and all the back post stitches in a second color. There are several ways you could make stripes.

Have fun making this your own by playing with color. Another change you can make is adding more or less repeats of the front post and back post sections to make the hat more or less slouchy.

If you want a longer ribbed section, repeat round five of the Ribbing until it’s as long as you want. If you are going to flip the ribbed section up for extra warmth, you’ll want to repeat round six of the Hat Body until the front post section is the same length as the ribbed section.

  1. Just wanted to share that when I pinned this, my phone automatically tried to add it to “beauty.” I haven’t added anything to that board in a while, so my phone either thinks you or the pattern are beautiful!
