Almost a Granny Slouch Hat Crochet Pattern. Instant digital download.
I created this slouch hat pattern to match my Almost a Granny triangle scarf.
I love the look of granny stripes in scarves and other wearable items but find them a bit too hot for where I live. So I came up with the Almost a Granny stitch pattern which has the same look but with less bulk and when combined with a cotton yarn you get a cosy looking item that you can actually wear in a warm climate!
This hat is created in rounds from the bottom up allowing you to easily adjust for a perfect fit and your preferred amount of slouch.
Level: Easy
The pattern uses basic stitches suitable for advanced beginners and has a soothing rhythm even an experienced crocheter will enjoy.
You'll need:
Approx. 150m (164yards) 8ply (DK) yarn. I used Bendigo Woollen Mills 8ply cotton in Orchid and Latte.
4.5mm hook
Pom pom maker (if adding a pom pom).
*You can use any DK weight yarn for this pattern, though drape may change. If you wish to use a different weight yarn, multiples required for this pattern are included and you can adjust the size accordingly.
Finished size:
50cm (19 1/2 in) circumference in example hats. (Bottom up construction so size is easily adjustable)
Included in this 9 page PDF pattern:
15 tutorial photos
9 other photos
American English crochet terms used throughout.
Includes multiples to allow you to perfectly size it for your needs.
Partial graph for help with stitch pattern repeats and placement.
Clear concise written instructions with a layout designed to make it easy to follow and not lose your place.
Text only printable page so you can print the pattern on just 1 page reducing paper usage.
Landscape layout that looks good on a laptop, tablet or phone (simply zoom in on half the page on your smart phone to see the pattern clearly in portrait mode). See photo 4.
