Maybe you have lots of them in a few styles and colors. But there is always space to have another one: a new hat for the next season. Meet the Faya Slouch – an elegant and stylish pattern by Harlee Wentworth that you MUST try. Although the project may look complicated, it is quite easy, and you will be the owner of this beanie in a few hours.
What Yarn for the Faya Slouch Hat
The yarn suggested for this project is Lion Brand Vanna’s Choice, a worsted-weight yarn that gives a good stitch definition and a soft but structured finish. You can also use any other medium-weight acrylic or wool blends and easily customize the pattern in different colors.
How to Crochet the Faya Slouch
This winter crochet slouch hat pattern is worked from the top down in the round, starting with the crown and finishing with a ribbed brim to provide a snug fit. The body features a combination of chains, single crochet, and double crochet stitches, giving it a beautiful texture.
How Do I Make the Hat Slouchier?
For a slouchier look, just add more rounds before going on to the decreases for the crown. You can also size up to a 6 mm hook for a looser fit or work in a drapey yarn like an acrylic-wool blend to slouch better. Complete your hat with a pom-pom or button for an adorable, finished look.
