Women’s crochet basic slouchy hat

This is a very easy women’s slouchy hat to crochet. I used the free pattern by PDDesigns (click here for pattern). This pattern was well written and very easy to follow; suitable for a beginner.

For this slouchy hat, I used Paton’s Cosmos 12 ply yarn (50g, 85m, 47% wool and 50% acrylic and 3% polyester). This yarn was easy to work with and produced a slouchy hat with a very soft  finish.

Using a 6mm hook, the hat used just over one ball of yarn.

Although it is difficult to see clearly in the picture, the yarn has a nice shiny silver thread through parts of it. The yarn is also self striping, which I really liked.
