Crochet Slouchy Hat Patterns
Crochet slouchy hat patterns add two to three inches of extra height beyond a fitted beanie so the crown drapes at the back. The brim must fit snugly to keep the hat on, often using ribbing or a decrease round. Drapey yarns and lighter stitches help the slouch fall softly rather than stand up.

How long should a slouchy hat be?
A slouchy hat should be about 10–12 inches from crown to brim for an adult, compared with 8–9 inches for a fitted beanie. Beret-style slouchies instead increase the crown wider than the head and decrease back down to the band.
Frequently asked questions
Why does my slouchy hat stand up instead of draping?
The yarn or stitch is too stiff; try a larger hook, a drapier fiber, or a more open stitch.
What yarn is best for slouchy hats?
Soft DK or worsted wool blends, alpaca blends, or acrylics with good drape.
