Elli’s Tweed Slouch Hat – Free Crochet Pattern

Welcome to the 2020 Scarf and Hat of the Month Club!

It’s time for the March Hat pattern! This month, I used Lion Brand Mandala Tweed Stripes to make my hat so that it would match Elli’s Tweed Button Cowl from last week. I absolutely love slouch hats and so does my daughter Kaylee. Instead of making a beanie this month, I decided to make a slouch hat that is super comfy. It does not fit tightly around your head, which is always a plus for me. Scroll down to check out the FREE crochet pattern for Elli’s Tweed Slouch Hat. For 24 hours only, get a FREE PDF version of this pattern from my Ravelry shop! I hope you enjoy it! Happy Crocheting!

Join us for the March 2020 hat patterns!

Finish:

  • Bring the two sides of the hat together and using the yarn tail from the ribbing section, sew the hat together using the whip stitch method.
  • Using long tail from the top of the hat and a yarn needle, close up the hole in the center of the hat by weaving the yarn through the front loop of each stitch of the last round. Pull the yarn taught to cinch the center closed and weave yarn around the center to close any gap that may remain.
  • If you are using a pom pom, place it into the center of the hat and sew into place using the pom pom strings. If your pom pom does not have strings and has an elastic band instead, you can sew a button onto the top of the inside of your hat and attach the pom pom to the button.
  • Turn the hat inside out so that the seam is on the inside.
  • Weave in all ends.
