Prompt: Create a bright, modern teenager bedroom scene with lots of natural sunlight and a soft airy feel. The room should be mostly white with warm neutral tones and a clean, fresh look. Include large windows with sheer white curtains, sunlight streaming in, white walls, light wood furniture, and a soft white or cream bed with layered cozy bedding. Add pretty feminine accents like a delicate hanging pendant light, simple framed wall art, a small plant, a knit throw blanket, a few tasteful pillows, and subtle pastel decor. The space should feel stylish, calm, polished, and age-appropriate for a teenage girl — modern but still warm and inviting. Keep the room uncluttered, elegant, and realistic with a high-end lifestyle photography look.

Why you’ll love this pattern

This pattern is simple, cozy, and easy to wear. It comes in three sizes, works up in rows instead of rounds, and can be finished with a folded brim and pom pom for a cute classic look.

How the hat is constructed

This hat is crocheted flat in rows of double crochet to make a simple rectangle. The short ends are sewn together to form a tube, the top is gathered closed with a yarn needle, and the brim is folded up and finished with a round of single crochet edging. A pom pom can be added at the end for a fun finishing touch.

Crochet slouchy hat pattern details

Here’s a quick overview of the materials, sizing, gauge, and pattern notes before you begin.

Skill level

Beginner — This pattern uses simple rows of double crochet, easy seaming, and a gathered top. You do not need to crochet in the round, which makes it a great first hat project.

Materials needed

  • Hat hook — H-8 (5 mm) crochet hook, or the hook needed to obtain gauge
  • Brim trim hook — I-9 (5.5 mm) crochet hook, or one size larger than the hook used for the hat
  • Yarn — Worsted weight yarn (#4)
  • Scissors — to cut yarn and fasten off
  • Stitch markers — helpful for keeping track of stitches
  • Extra large pom pom maker — used to make the pom pom for the top of the hat

Finished size

This hat comes in three sizes:

  • Toddler — fits 18–19 inches (46–48 cm) head circumference; approx. 7 inches (18 cm) tall

Slouchy hat pattern instructions

Follow the step-by-step crochet slouchy hat pattern instructions below to make your hat in toddler, child, or adult size. The pattern is worked flat in rows, then sewn together and finished with a folded brim and pom pom.

Sizing note: Measure the width of your hat before fastening off. It should match the finished circumference for your size:

Toddler: 18 inches (46 cm)
Child: 20 inches (51 cm)
Adult: 22 inches (56 cm)

Add or remove a row if needed, then fasten off leaving a long tail for sewing.

Row 1: Ch 34, dc in the 3rd ch from the hook, dc in each rem ch, turn (32 stitches)
Row 2: Ch 2, dc in each st, turn (32 stitches)
Rows 3–41: Repeat row 2 (32 stitches)

Row 2: Ch 2, dc in each st, turn (36 stitches)
Rows 3–50: Repeat row 2 (36 stitches)

Assembling the hat

Use your yarn needle to sew the two ends of the hat together. Weave in your ends, then turn the hat right-side out.

Adding brim edging

I used an I-9 (5.5 mm) crochet hook and white yarn for the brim edging.

Fold up 2 inches (5 cm) of the bottom for the brim. Join your yarn, ch 1, and work one single crochet in the side of each row. Join with a slip stitch to the top of the first single crochet. Weave in your ends.

Closing the top

Use a yarn needle and a long piece of yarn to close the top of the hat.

Weave the yarn through the top edge, working from front to back around the opening. Gently pull to close the top.

Tie the yarn ends together. If a small gap remains, sew it closed with one of the yarn ends.

Adding the pom pom

  1. Wind the yarn around both arches. 
  2. Cut the yarn along the middle gap.
  3. Tie with a piece of scrap yarn. 
  4. Open the arches and remove the pom pom.
  5. Trim any loose ends.

Attach the pom pom to the top of your hat.

Finishing

Weave in your ends.
