​Simple Crochet Slouchy Hat

You’ll need:

Medium/Worsted Weight yarn;

Crochet hooks 4 mm and 5 mm;

Tapestry needle.

Stitches control: 14 sts x 9 rows = 10 x 10 cm.

Instructions

Begin with magic loop.

Row 1: Ch 2 (counts as first DC), 11 DCs in ring; join to top of ch 2 and pull loop tight (12 sts)

Row 2: Ch 2 (counts as first DC), DC in same st, *2 DCs in next st* around; join (24 sts)

Row 3: Ch 2 (counts as first DC), DC in next st, 2 DCs in next st, *DC in next 2 sts, 2 DCs in next st* around; join (32 sts)

Row 4: Ch 2 (counts as first DC), 2 DCs in next st, *DC in next 3 sts, 2 DCs in next st* around; join (40 sts)

Row 5: Ch 2 (counts as first DC), 2 DCs in next st, *DC in next 4 sts, 2 DCs in next st* around; join (48 sts)

Row 6: Ch 2 (counts as first DC), 2 DCs in next st, *DC in next 5 sts, 2 DCs in next st* around; join (56 sts)

Row 7: Ch 2 (counts as first DC), 2 DCs in next st, *DC in next 6 sts, 2 DCs in next st* around; join (64 sts)

Row 8: Ch 2 (counts as first DC), 2 DCs in next st, *DC in next 7 sts, 2 DCs in next st* around; join (72 sts)

Row 9: Ch 2, *DCin each st aroud*, join;

Rows 10-28: Repeat Row 9 for 19 rows; join

Note: This is where you can remove rows, if needed, to lessen the amount of slouch dependent on stitches control. Basically, work these rows until you reach your preferred length.

Row 29: Switch to smaller hook, ch 1, *in back loop only, sc in each st around*; join

Rows 30-34: Repeat Row 29

Fasten off.
