Slouchy Hat

Tweet

I just want to share another type of hat that we included in our made-to-order list- The Slouchy Hats.

One of our work colleagues asked if we can make these types of hat. She showed us the photo she got from the internet. I examined the type of stitch used first before committing. It only used shell stitches and I accepted the order.

Here is the pattern for the soccer ball. I made modifications on the pattern to end up the desired head circumference asked by one of our customers.

You will need:

Hook – size 5

Black light worsted yarn

Round 2. Ch3, 3dc on the same st as ch3, *dc on the next st, 4 dc on the next st. Repeat * 5 more times. Sl-st on top of ch3.

Round 2. Ch3,turn, 2dc on the same st as ch3, dc on the next st, 4 dc on the next st, dc on the next st, 4dc on the next st, dc on the next st, 2dc on the last st (top of ch4 on the previous round).

Thru slip-stitch, attach one side of the hexagon to the pentagon, then attach the adjacent sides of the hexagon. Now, attach the other 5 pentagons in between hexagons. See below.

This time, attach the half hexagon in between pentagons. See below.

DC round 2: Ch3, dc in each st around. Sl-st on top of ch3 and fasten off.
