Textured Slouchy Hat Free Crochet Pattern

I love how this textured slouchy crochet hat worked up. The amazing texture is achieved with the front post double crochet stitches.

This textured slouchy hat pattern is in sizes teen/adult. The hat has a single crochet band. The tube or body of the hat has double crochet and front post double crochets.

My daughter was quite intrigued with this hat in particular. She just wanted to reach up and grab it. This yarn is so grab-able too!

I love the subtle color variations in Lion Brand’s Heartland. It’s one of my favorite worsted weight yarn.

Pin it for later here:

I love how soft this yarn feels when I’m crocheting with it. Combine that with the sheen and all the gorgeous colors to choose from and I’m hooked! See what I did there 😉

Pattern Notes:

1. Teen-Adult size
2. This hat is worked from the bottom up.
3. Ch 2 does not count as a stitch.
4. Front post double crochet stitches will always be crocheted around double crochet stitches, so each round you will alternate starting with a FPDC or a DC stitch.
5. To adjust this hat pattern for a different size, use an odd stitch count.
