Crochet Velvet Slouchy Hat Free Pattern
Just in time for cooler weather, I have a new cozy pattern for you! :) Introducing the Velvet Slouchy Hat! It’s super easy and available in 3 sizes!
After making my Velvet Cloche, I received a lot of requests for a velvet slouchy and you know I love slouchies, so I’m happy to deliver on that! This one is more of a beret style but if that’s not your thing, I also have a beanie style coming soon!
It’s a very basic pattern, no fancy stitches. I just wanted to create an easy hat because really the velvet is what is special about it, I think. So, this hat is very beginner-friendly! If you can double and single crochet, you can make this hat!
Also, don’t miss my tips for crocheting with velvet yarn! It’s a little different so I shared my a few things to make it easier to work with.
