If you liked the look of the basket weave stitch in the Bobbi Beanie but you like to wear your hair in a messy bun or a ponytail, then try out this hat. If you haven't yet mastered the magic circle, good news, you won't have to use it for this hat. You will be crocheting around a hair elastic.

Over the years, slouchy hats have become one of my favorite projects to crochet. They are fun to wear, gift, donate, and sell! I prefer to crochet my slouchy hats from the bottom-up, and in this tutorial I'm going to share how to cinch a bottom-up slouchy hat closed. This simple tutorial will help make your hats slouchier and cozier. I'll share how to cinch a crochet slouchy hat closed in five easy steps… and one of the steps is optional, and the other one you have to do anyway to finish your project. It's that easy!

There are two basic types of simple crochet hat construction: the close-fitting beanie and the loose-fitting slouch hat. This free crochet pattern provides instructions for making the latter in any size. It closes with a drawstring, which means that even if you're guage is slightly off, the hat should fit. Adorn it with a button-centered flower or leave that part off if you want a simpler design.

The Nina Bean Beanie Hat is a crochet hat worked side to side as a rectangle which is then folded, seamed with top sewn shut and pom pom added at the end. The crochet ribbing is worked as part of the stitch pattern not added on later! An easy to memorize 4-row repeat creates beautiful texture throughout the crochet beanie hat with ridges and a faux cable made with chains and single crochet stitches. Crochet stitches used include chains, single crochet, half double crochet stitches and slip stitches worked in combination. Height can easily be adjusted by changing the number of chains in the foundation chain. Width of hat can easily be adjusted by adding or subtracting rows at the end. 4 sizes included - child, adult small, adult medium and adult large.
