🧶 Slouchy Beanie Crochet Pattern

A full construction plan, not just a motif: every round is computed by the stitch engine and verified before publishing — the finished object comes out the size the title promises.

📏 Adult slouch: crown Ø16cm, finished depth ≈24cm with back drape

Finished size & materials

📏 Adult slouch: crown Ø16cm, finished depth ≈24cm with back drape. Written for worsted (category 4) yarn and a 5.0-5.5mm hook at ≈0.7cm per single crochet. Gauge decides the final size — hook a small swatch first and adjust the hook, not the stitch counts. Every round below is computed by the stitch engine: if a round says it starts at 72 and ends at 66, those numbers reconcile.

Assembly & finishing

  • crown — Same crown math as the classic beanie — Ø16cm for a 54cm head.
  • body — Work even for 14 rounds (≈10cm) — the extra depth creates the back drape. Switch to hdc here for a looser, softer slouch.
  • brim — 3 rounds of BLO sc; the brim should sit snug at the ears while the top relaxes back.
