Hi! I just made this hat and it turned out awesome! I added a single row of single crochet stitches after row 18 just to have a “finish” and I love it! So easy and fast to make I made two in one night! Thanks for the pattern will be doing a lot of these for friends as well!

I wish I could post pics of this hat. I have made three of these so far. No matter the color or yarn it looks beautiful. I used a J hook for one and it was just a tiny bit larger but I liked the larger stitches for that one. The rest have been with the I and in my opinion they are perfect. I have also done this with the first three rows being three different colors. Love it!
Thank you so much for the pattern. It will definitely be a staple pattern for the teens and ladies in my life.

Hi Sherene, I haven't made this hat in a baby size, so I'm not sure how many stitches would be needed to do that. But I did make a similar slouchy hat that has a baby size, here's the link: Textured Slouchy Beanie Crochet Pattern

HI Rachel, I made this hat and it is really nice. thanks! I was wondering if you can give me the measurement/no of stitches for baby sice 24 to 36 months for the same pattern. Want to make one for my Nephew.

Thanks a lot,
Sherene

Samantha, you can change to the second color when you get the the last few rows of the beanie. It all depends on how much of the second color you want. Feel free to experiment with it!

I am wanting to have my beanie 2 different colors where the bottom is a few rows of the 2nd color and I was wondering at what row I should change to my second color.

Suzanne, dc2tog is the opposite of dc in the next 2 dc. The dc2tog is decrease stitch, here's a link to a tutorial on it that may help: How to Crochet: Double Crochet Decrease (dc2tog)

I am making this hat, however it did come out pretty large. I am only to the 15, 16 & 17 round and I can’t seem to make it decrease. Explain (2dctog) Is this the same as 2 dc in the next dc? My hat looks like a space ship. My Granddaughter is waiting for it, but there is no way she can keep it on.

Hi Bre, it is suppose to be a very slouchy hat, so if it fits on your head without falling off you probably did do the pattern correctly. If you’d like a less slouchy hat, you can do less of the increasing rounds so that the hat won’t be so big. Feel free to play around with it it get the hat you desire.

Hey Rachel,
I’m a Crocheting novice and decided to use you pattern to make a hat for winter. I followed it to the stitch and it came out HUGE! What did I do wrong? When I put it on, it looks like a Bob Marley hat, which is not the style I was going for. My friend saw the hat and tried it on. It look rather nice with her long hair, but with my short bob, not so much. I’ll just give it to her as a gift, but I would like one for myself… just a little less Rastafarian.
