You’re going to love the crochet Mitis hat. It’s a beautiful textured crochet beanie, with amazing stitch details.
This hat is crocheted sideways, which means you can decide how much slouch you’d like right away & then stop crocheting when you reach your desired circumference.
Option 4: Most of my crochet patterns can also be found on Ravelry, Love Crafts and Etsy.

The Yarn
To crochet this hat you can essentially use any 4 medium weight yarn.
My suggestion is that you use Rowan Felted Tweed Aran, as used on the beanie pictured directly below.
The yarn used on the beanie on the other pictures, was some scrap yarn I had laying around, so unfortunately I can’t figure out the yarn name & brand to share with you.

Make a swatch that measure 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.

Finishing

Still working with the needle, pull through the top of every third 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 stitches.
