This Easy Slouchy Crochet Beanie Pattern is true to its name… it’s both super slouchy and super easy. It fits loose and comfortably. Plus, this colorway is everything.
I had some of this gorgeous yarn leftover after making my COZIEST CROCHET CARDIGAN and I had to use it again. I love the slight texture and the subtle color changes in this yarn. This hat uses only basic crochet stitches. Because of the touch of texture, there isn’t a need for any special stitches. This yarn is beautiful all on it’s own!
And can we just address how vicious that cactus looks behind me? Goodness! I actually did get some cactus in my shoe while we were photographing this hat. I was warned not to wear Crocs this far out in our back yard. Of course, I didn’t listen. Of course, I got cactus in my foot. #lifeinthedesert

An 8 hook?? Too huge!!
And a 6.00 hook to make the band.
What size hook do you use for the gauge swatch?
How do u connect the ends of the band to the beany? and start the new please help
Hi! Sew the ends together with a single crochet. Insert your hook into the top loops of the last row and the bottom of the first row. Then work a single crochet all the way across. I hope this helps!!
I don’t understand your instructions on finishing the ends of the beanie, would you please help me with this.
Hi! What specifically are you having trouble with? Sewing the top?
Truly enjoying this pattern. Haven’t crocheted in a spell so trying out this easy pattern. Thank you for sharing!!
Any idea how many balls of yarn needed (or yards)?
I would say around 200g 🙂
I am getting ready to crochet the easy beanie hat. I always love your instructions because they are easy to follow!
Thank you so much!!
