This slouch hat pattern is worked from the bottom up in one piece. First we create the hat band and then we work across the row ends of the band to create the body of the hat. The hat body is crocheted in joined rows and we turn at the end of every row to create the stitch pattern. This project uses Red Heart Super Saver Yarn in a solid color; you can alternately change colors, or use a variegated yarn instead. The gauge is provided separately for the hat band and the hat body.

Houndstooth Slouch
Next, here is a new winter slouch hat pattern available in a few sizes. Overall, this too is an easy pattern that you work up flat (the band) and then stitch together with the top worked from hat band to crown.
Mountain Trail Hat
"This hat uses a unique stitch combination to create a woven appearance. Hat is worked side-to-side in rows to make a rectangle which is then folded together, seamed and top of hat sewn together. Hat is worked by alternating colors from two yarn cakes or by working both ends of the same yarn cake, switching colors every second row. Perfect pairing with self-striping yarn but could also be made in a single color or with alternating two solid colors. No worries about a ton of ends to weave in at the end with the color changes as yarn is dropped and then pulled back into work at the end. Yarn floats are covered in the seaming process! Instructions included for size Adult Small, Medium and Large but could easily be adjusted to any size."
Aurora Slouch
"For the Aurora Slouch, I've combined several simple crochet stitches that add both a nice texture and drape. I personally love the stripes, but testers also made the slouch in a solid color. The textured stitches create a lot of visual interest even when the hat is worked in a solid color. The hat is sized in kids to adult large. I used Lion Brand Wool Ease in and Lion Brand Mandala Ombre. The ombre."
Through The Window Beanie
"This fun crochet hat pattern uses the mosaic crochet technique. Don't let it scare you! It's comprised of simple single crochet stitches, chains and easy double crochets. While my favorite way to work this technique is with a variegated color underneath, and a solid coordinating color on top, it also looks great with both solid colors, and even looks neat all in one color - think white on white texture. I used Red Heart Super Saver for my beanies, but good alternatives are: Lion Brand's Vanna's Choice or Heartland, Hobby Lobby's I Love This Yarn, Red Heart's Soft, Bernat's Super Value and Premier Yarns Everyday Soft."
