This slouchie beanie crochet pattern uses single crochet, double crochet, magic circle/ring, and front-post double crochet (fpdc). If you don't know how to do a fpdc, don't worry, I've got you covered! In addition to a brief demonstration in the pattern video, I've also included an additional video, demonstrating how to make both the front-post and back-post double crochet.

⭐ NOTE: One note, however! I made an oopsie in the video and stated (repeatedly, yikes) that at the end of each row, you should do two chain stitches to act as your first double crochet...it should be three. Sorry... Luckily, for this pattern, you won't see the mistake even if you make two stitches instead of three.

🧶 Materials

• Approx a half skein of #4/worsted weight yarn
• K-10.5 / 6.5-mm hook and J-10 / 6-mm hook
• Stitch marker (optional)
• Scissors
• Yarn needle

📏 Finished size

Using #4/worsted weight yarn and a J-hook, this pattern will make one adult size hat.

⭐ Notes

• All instructions, abbreviations, and materials in this pattern are given in US terminology.
• Numbers in parentheses at the end of each row show many stitches should be in that particular row.

📹 Video tutorial

⭐ NOTE: I made an oopsie (or two) in the video above and unfortunately YouTube won't allow you to fix it (or add a text box explaining the correct number) without removing the entire video and uploading a new one. Here are the corrections:

1) I stated (repeatedly, yikes) that at the end of each row, you should do two chain stitches to act as your first double crochet...it should be three. Sorry... Luckily, for this pattern, you won't see the mistake even if you make two stitches instead of three.

2) Starting at row #15, I miscounted, it should actually be 52! I got out my yarn and hook and re-did it again and it's 52. If it's a little loose on you, though, you could always decrease three stitches together a few times in Row #15 (or reduce the number of sc to one, between a few of the decreases). Thanks careful crocheters for catching me on this one! 🙂
