You’re going to love the crochet Løv Slouchy Beanie, because it’s so fun & textured. It also come in sizes from 12-18 months to adult man.
What’s so great about this hat crochet pattern is the fact that it is crocheted widthwise, that means you can stop crocheting when you feel you’ve achieved the circumference wanted. Which makes it really easy to customize.
That also means you’re crocheting the ribbing while you crochet the rest of the hat & you’ll instantly get a feel of how slouchy it is.
All that texture looks difficult? Well, I’m happy to say it mostly contains playing with working in the back loops & front loops. It’s not complex stitches. Yay!

Crochet Pattern Notes
- This crochet pattern is written in US terms.
- All measurements given are unblocked.
- Note that measurements are given as exact as possible. But crochet tension & technique might give variations in the result, that changes from person to person.
- Read pattern instructions carefully before beginning to make sure you understand everything. It might save you hours frogging your work & crocheting it again!
- Make a swatch that measures at least 10 x 10 cm / 4 x 4 inches using the stitch the gauge is given for. If your swatch matches the gauge, you’re good to go. If the gauge is wrong, you might need to change your hook. Go up in crochet hook size if your stitches are smaller & go down in crochet hook size if your stitches are bigger. Learn more about testing gauge.
- Check yarn info if you want to find an alternative or test your yarn against the gauge. Learn more about substituting yarn.
- This pattern is written for 7 sizes, where the different sizes are given in parenthesis like this: 12-18 Months (18-24 Months) 2-5 Years (Child) Teen (Woman) Man. If just one number is given, it applies to all sizes. I recommend that you highlight or circle the size you’re making before you begin to make the pattern easier to follow. Size adjustments are added under the heading “Sizes & Measurements”.
- At the end of each row, the stitch count is given in parenthesis.

Size Notes
- Head sizes varies, take measurements to find the size that fits the best.
- The hat height is the same for the 4 smallest sizes; 12-18 months, 18-24 months, 2-5 years, child. That means the hat will be more slouchy for the size 12-18 months & the least slouchy for the biggest of those sizes.
- The hat height is also the same for the 3 biggest sizes; teen, woman, man. That means the hat will be more slouchy for the size teen & the least slouchy for the biggest of those sizes.
Size Adjustments
- Note: Any size adjustments affect yarn usage & you might need more/less yarn than suggested.
- Make the hat higher by adding extra stitches before you start row 1, added/reduced by 8 stitches at a time.
- Adjust hat circumference by adding/reducing the number of rows you crochet. To make it easy to assemble the hat with the same yarn tail, end with an odd row.

Stitches You Will Need
Front Loop Extended Single Crochet
In the indicated stitch: Insert hook through the front loop, pull up a loop, you have 2 loops on the hook, yarn over & go through 1 loop, yarn over & go through both loops on the hook.
Techniques You Will Need
Crocheting in the Front & Back Loop
This means that you will not crochet through the whole stitch as usual. A typical stitch contains two loops. One in the front, nearest you, and another stitch in the back, furthest away from you. One is called the front loop (the one nearest you), the other one the back loop, the one furthest away from you.
For this pattern you will crochet slip stitches through the front loop & back loop, as well as single crochet stitches in the back loop (BLsc) & extended single crochet stitches in the front loop (FLesc).
Instructions for the Crochet Løv Slouchy Beanie
This hat is crocheted widthwise in rows, the 4 smallest sizes has one stitch count to achieve hat height, while the 3 biggest sizes has the same stitch count to achieve a slightly longer hat height. See size adjustments to figure out how to adjust sizes.
Make 32 (32) 32 (32) 40 (40) 40 st using the FSC technique.
*If you don’t want to use the FSC technique, chain 33 (33) 33 (33) 41 (41) 41 & then crochet 1 row with single crochet stitches in your chains, then start row 1.
Row 1: Ch 1 (counts as 1st st), sl st 1 in FL of the next st, sk 1 st, FLesc 1 in next st, FLesc 1 in prev st, sk the 2 FLesc st, *sl st 1 in the FL of the next 6 st*, sk 1 st, FLesc 1 in next st, FLesc 1 in prev st, sk the 2 FLesc st*, repeat from *to* until you have 12 st left, sl st in the FL of the next 2 st, BLsc 1 in the last 10 st, turn (=32 (32) 32 (32) 40 (40) 40).
Row 2 : Ch 1 (counts as 1st st), sl st 1 in BL of each st from prev row, turn (=32 (32) 32 (32) 40 (40) 40).
Row 3: Ch 1 (counts as 1st st), sl st 1 in FL of the next 5 st, sk 1 st, FLesc 1 in next st, FLesc 1 in prev st, sk the 2 FLesc st, *sl st 1 in the FL of the next 6 st*, sk 1 st, FLesc 1 in next st, FLesc 1 in prev st, sk the 2 FLesc st*, repeat from *to* until you have 10 st left, BLsc 1 in the last 10 st, turn (=32 (32) 32 (32) 40 (40) 40).
Row 4: Rep row 2.
Repeat row 1-4 until you have crocheted 81 (87) 93 (97) 103 (107) 113 rows.
To make it easy to assemble the hat with the same yarn tail, end with an odd row.
Fasten off & cut yarn, leave a yarn tail that’s about 40 cm / 16 inches to seam the side of the hat & to close the top of the hat.
Finishing
- With the wrong side facing. With a needle, seam the side of the beanie, with the yarn tail you left after cutting the yarn.
- Still working with the needle, pull through the top of every other row on the top of the hat with the same yarn tail, in a way that makes it possible to pull tight after going through those rows.
- Pull tight & fasten thread.
- Fasten all threads & weave in ends.
