Now you can add a
pom pom to the top of the hat! I use my hand to make my pom poms and wrap the yarn around and around my hand (about 100 times). Lay out a long piece of
yarn (approx. 18"). Carefully slip the yarn off of your hand and
lay on top of the long piece of yarn, tie a knot twice. Using your
tapestry needle; sew the long yarn ends in and out of the pom pom over and over. Add a dab or two of fabric glue to the center.
Let dry. Cut
through all your loops and trim up your pom pom. Sew to the top of hat.

This is my absolute favorite pattern I have ever found is there any way I could pay for the pattern so that I could sell the hats that I make from it or put a link to your pattern?
ReplyDeleteI'm so glad you like the pattern as much as me! I believe I replied via google+, if not you are free to sell anything you make from any of my patterns.
DeleteI want to thank you so much for those gorgeous patterns for the hat & the cowl neck scarf. They are so beautiful and I will start making some for my 5 grand-daughters as Christmas presents.....and get them done early, as I'm sure I'll spot other nice patterns before Christmas rolls around. Once again, thank you.
ReplyDeleteYou're very welcome, I am happy to hear you can use the pattern. I had a lot of fun creating it and it's always well received as a gift.
DeleteThank you so much for this pattern! I love the finished product. It was really easy to follow - thanks again!
ReplyDeleteYou're welcome and thanks for taking the time to leave me a comment :)
DeleteDidn't mean it to be anonymous… Not sure why it shows that way.

Thank you for the beautiful pattern, I featured it on my blog :) http://www.colorfulcanary.com/2016/01/14-fashionable-crochet-hat-patterns-for.html
ReplyDeleteThanks Colorful Canary! I was sure to share your blog post, I appreciate your share :)
DeleteHi Jenni! I have made this hat twice now and it's so lovely. Only problem is, the second time I used a slightly heavier yarn and the hat has come out HUGE! I wondered if you know a way to shrink it down a bit, as it's a shame not to wear it! Thanks for any tips, Amy x
ReplyDeleteMaybe you can work some decreases in the last couple of rows or would it still be too bulky at the top of the hat?
DeleteI adore this hat! I just finished making it, it turned out beautifully and the pattern was so easy to follow. I do believe this is my favorite slouchy hat pattern so far and it's free! Thank you!
ReplyDeleteThanks for your kind words Yvonne, I am glad you enjoy the pattern, you are very welcome!
DeleteHi there Jenni!
ReplyDeleteI would love to know what yarn you used here! I want to make mine look exactly like yours! <3
Hi Samantha, I used Red Heart With Love yarn in Pewter. It's my favorite! :)
DeleteThanks l love this hat
ReplyDeleteThanks l love this hat
ReplyDeleteYou're welcome Susanne :)
DeleteHi! I'm working on this beautiful hat now. For rows 5-6 the fpdc I'm not sure how to work them. One way looks like there are gaps and the other way the stitches look too close together. Any suggestions?
ReplyDeleteIf you would like to send me a photo I may be able to help, you can email me at byjennidesigns@gmail.com or message me on facebook @ facebook.com/byjennidesigns
DeleteI am trying to make an earflap out of this pattern I dont like them close to the top of the head they look like helmets any suggestions please...sorry about anonymous cant remember password! My name is Sharon...thank you
ReplyDeleteHi Sharon, I've never tried this hat with ear flaps but I like the idea! I worked up some ear flaps on my own textured slouchy beanie, here's the quick pattern for you.
DeleteIf you want to keep with the theme and have some texture on the earflaps you can work the rows in the BLO (back loop only).
For the 1st ear flap:
Join with a sl st, ch 1.
Row 1: Hdc in 12. Ch 1, turn. (12)
Row 2: Hdc2tog, hdc in 8, hdc2tog. Ch 1, turn. (10)
Row 3: Hdc in each across. Ch 1, turn. (10)
Row 4: Hdc2tog, hdc in 6, hdc2tog. Ch 1, turn. (8)
Row 5: Hdc in each across. Ch 1, turn. (8)
Row 6: Hdc2tog, hdc in 4, hdc2tog. Ch 1, turn. (6)
Row 7: Hdc in each across. Ch 1, turn. (6)
Row 8: Hdc2tog, hdc in 2, hdc2tog. Ch 1, turn. (4)
Row 9: Hdc in each across. Ch 1, turn. (4)
Row 10: Hdc2tog, hdc2tog. Ch 1, turn. (2)
Row 11: Hdc2tog. (1)
Fasten off.
You'll need to leave 24 stitches unworked in the front of the hat and 17 in the back of the hat.
For the 2nd ear flap:
Join with a sl st, ch 1.
Row 1: Hdc in 12. Ch 1, turn. (12)
Row 2: Hdc2tog, hdc in 8, hdc2tog. Ch 1, turn. (10)
Row 3: Hdc in each across. Ch 1, turn. (10)
Row 4: Hdc2tog, hdc in 6, hdc2tog. Ch 1, turn. (8)
Row 5: Hdc in each across. Ch 1, turn. (8)
Row 6: Hdc2tog, hdc in 4, hdc2tog. Ch 1, turn. (6)
Row 7: Hdc in each across. Ch 1, turn. (6)
Row 8: Hdc2tog, hdc in 2, hdc2tog. Ch 1, turn. (4)
Row 9: Hdc in each across. Ch 1, turn. (4)
Row 10: Hdc2tog, hdc2tog. Ch 1, turn. (2)
Row 11: Hdc2tog. (1)
Do not fasten off, work a row of sc's around the hat and earflaps.
Fasten off and sew in the ends.
I'm a bit of a beginner and don't quite understand rows 5-6. If I do the "dc in next, fpdc in next" it adds stiches. I just ended up doing fpdc all the way around. Can you maybe explaine those rows - in beginners terms please :-)
ReplyDeleteWhen you work a fpdc you are working around the stitch which leave the loops at the top un-worked. You need to leave those loops un-worked and move on to the next open loops. Hmmm...sorry if that's difficult to understand. I could better explain it with photos if you'd like. You can message me on facebook @ facebook.com/byjennidesigns or email me at byjennidesigns@gmail.com
DeleteI love all your designs, they're beautiful.
DeleteI just had one question on rows 5-6 aswell, so, I go around the post, then miss the unworked stitch at the top, which brings me to my next fpdc, do I skip the front post stitch that's next to the dc and go onto the next post or is it only the top dc stitch I leave unworked? I'm sorry if that doesn't make sense, it's difficult trying to explain what I mean. Have a great day!
For round 3, do you do all the stitches in the back loop?
ReplyDeleteYes, that's correct.
DeleteHi Jenni, would love to have a go at creating your beautiful hat, unfortunately I live in the U.K. I have tried quite a few sites to try and find a conversion for the wool type and amounts, but they are all saying different. Would love it if you could advise me,
ReplyDeleteMany thanks Su x
Hi Su, here is a chart from Ravelry that states worsted weight is equivalent to 10 ply in the UK. http://www.ravelry.com/help/yarn/weights I hope this helps!
DeleteI really loved the way this looks. I'm so picky about my hats. I will be making this for myself as a Christmas present!!! A woman in a crochet group I am a member of shared her hat she made from this pattern, and she shared the link for all of us who are so interested in this beautiful hat. It's absolutely lovely, thank you!
ReplyDeleteThank you so much and you're welcome! :) I am crocheting up some this year for Christmas gifts too!
DeleteLove the pattern.bit confused as there seems to be more rows than stated in written instructions compared to photograph
ReplyDeleteThe hat in the photo is made from this exact pattern, you just can't see all the rows that are up by the pom-pom.
DeleteHi Jenni, I have made this hat twice now, and i absolutely love it. It is the first time I was able to follow a pattern to a "T" and have it turn out well. The second time I decreased the number of rows as it was too slouchy for my taste, but it came out great. Thanks so much for sharing!!!! I am starting the matching scarf now. :)
ReplyDeleteHello Carrie! I am happy to hear my pattern so much and glad it worked out well for you! I am currently editing the scarf pattern to fix an issue with the edge curling a bit. The pattern is still up if you want to give it a try or I'll have the new version up in a few days. :)
DeleteHi Jenni! Could you explain to me how you counted each row? I seem to get more stitches than what is stated. Do you not count the ch 2 at the beginning of each row? I get a total of 12 in magic ring including the ch2 and then 24 in the 2nd row and so forth... I'm sorry I don't get it!
ReplyDeleteHi Maria, if you read under the Important Notes section you'll see that the ch 2 does not count as a dc in this pattern therefor it shouldn't be counted in the stitch count.
DeleteI have made 3 slouchy beanies in 2 days, wonderful pattern. I used Caron simply soft yarn; they came out beautiful.
ReplyDeleteMeredith
Hi Meredith! Thanks so much for sharing, I looove that yarn too!
Deletei made this hat once before and it came out way too small for me (but my friend loved it). How would I go about making it fit a 24"-25" head?
ReplyDeleteYou can try going up a hook size and then when you get to row 9 you should have a better idea if it's going to fit correctly.
DeleteI just finished mine, I love it!
ReplyDeleteHi Angela, happy to hear that! :)
DeleteI love this hat so much! Perfect fit thank you!
ReplyDeleteI keep trying to make your nice beanie but the stitches always cup on the 5th and 6th rounds of fpdc. Is this right?
ReplyDeleteHi Jenni, your hat is lovely. I've added a link to it from my website. Would you be happy for me to also add a copy of your photo to your link so people can see what they are clicking through to? You can see the link here at http://www.how-to-crochet-instructions.com/free-crochet-hat-patterns.html the second link after the blue hat
ReplyDeleteShirley
Hi Shirley, thank you. I don't mind at all if you share the photo for your link. I appreciate the share!
DeleteHello Leanna, I am not sure which dusty purple hat you are referring to?
ReplyDeleteWhat does front post double crochet mean?double crochet in the front loop?
ReplyDeleteHi Jenni!!! I am going to give your pattern a try. I have had great difficulty in finding a pattern that isn't too large and too difficult for me to learn. This is my first attempt at making a stocking cap with a pom pom. Is this pattern actually made in rounds instead of the stated rows?
ReplyDeleteHi Jenni!!! This is my first attempt at making me a stocking cap I have been crocheting since 1975. I have never been able to get the gauge right for a hat or crochet garment until now! Thank-You so very much for this pattern. I live on Social Security Disability and unfortunately money is a big issue for me. I have to rely on free patterns by necessity. This stocking hat fits perfectly and will keep me warm during the cold Missouri winters. Blessings to you for making these patterns available to people like me. Now to make the matching scarf and cowl.
ReplyDeleteCan you tell me how I would make this hat bigger for someone with a larger head? I love this pattern its so gorgeous and I would love to make the matching scarf for it. :)
ReplyDeleteI was searching for a cute slouch pattern, and I found it in your Slouchy Textured Beanie! I like it a lot. Thank you so much for sharing your amazing pattern!
ReplyDeleteThis pattern is beautiful!! Thank you for sharing I know you said the color is pewter but in the pic it looks to me like a shade of moss green and it's beautiful. Funny how things look different online. I wish I could find the color that it looks like on here.But I'm going to make one with fingerless gloves too for my ddil
ReplyDeleteI have a question about Rows 5 & 6. If I start my fpdc in the 2nd stitch, I end up with only 20 fpdc. And then what happens to the first stitch? If I only ch 2 in that stitch, would I lose it as a stitch because the ch 2's don't count as stitches?
ReplyDeleteHats like this have seemed too difficult for me as I have only been crocheting for a couple of years. I decided to tackle this one because I liked the looks of it so much. I am almost finished with it and it is looking beautiful. Thank you so much for a beautiful and easy-to-read pattern.
ReplyDeleteXD Newbie crocheter and hats seem to be the only thing i can make othe than toys, I really loke the pattern simple but cute!
ReplyDeleteThank you for makin the pattern free!
Making this gorgeous hat in 2018! It truly is a beautiful pattern Jenni! Thanks so much for posting it and for keeping it simple and easy to follow. My favourite slouchie beanie pattern ever!!!
ReplyDeleteI just wanted to tell you how great this hat is! I've made several and have them in my etsy shop, and people love them! I credit you for the pattern, of course.
ReplyDeleteI used Lion Brand Heartland yard with the I hook and I had to cut the number of rows as it became very long. The circumference of the hat is right and the hat looks great. I thought maybe I should use an H hook instead to get through all rows. What are your thoughts?
