Crochet Classic All-season Slouchy Hat

Materials Needed:

Yarn: Various types from a number two light up to a lighter end of the number four weight yarn.
Hook: Size H (5 mm) crochet hook.
Stitch markers: One or two.
Row counter (optional).

Band:

Begin with a foundation double crochet (FDC) in multiples of three, with enough chains to fit comfortably around your head.
Join to the first FDC to form a circle, ensuring there are no twists in the band.

Round 1:

Chain 2 (does not count as a stitch). Work one double crochet in each stitch around the circle.

Round 2:

Chain 1. Work one single crochet in each double crochet from the previous round.

For Round 3:

Chain 2. Work front post double crochet in the following double crochet, then two back post double crochets in the next two double crochets. Repeat the pattern all the way around the circle.

Round 4:

Repeat Round 2 (single crochet round).

Round 5:

If you need a taller band, repeat Round 3.

Hat Body:

In Round 1:

Chain 3 (counts as the first double crochet). Work three more double crochets in the same stitch for a total of four. Skip two stitches, work four double crochets into the next stitch. Repeat from to around.

Round 2:

Chain 7 (counts as the first double crochet plus chain 4), or work an alternate double crochet and chain 4. Skip the next two stitches, and work a cross stitch in the third stitch. Repeat the pattern around, chaining 4 and cross stitching across.

Round 3:

Chain 3 (counts as the first double crochet). Work three double crochets in each chain-4 space all the way around.
Repeat Rounds 2 and 3 until you've attained the desired fullness or height for the slouchy part of the hat.

Decrease Section:

Begin the decrease section by altering the chain spaces and double crochet count as described in the video. The decreases will shape the crown of the hat.
Continue decreasing, following the established pattern, until the crown of the hat closes up neatly.
Secure and weave in all loose ends to finish the hat.
