How to Crochet the Easy Crochet Slouchy Beanie Pattern

To crochet this slouchy beanie all you have to do is crochet a rectangle. Then you’ll assemble it to a beanie by seaming with a tapestry needle at the short edge to create a tube. Finally you will cinch in the top of the beanie to close it.

What makes a beanie slouchy is the length of the beanie from the forehead to the top of the beanie. The longer you make it, the more slouchy the beanie will be. The suggested length or hat height to create a slouchy beanie varies from 7 to 9.5 inches, depending on which size you make.

The featured stitch for this crochet slouchy beanie is the bubble pattern, also known as the bean stitch. It’s a easy crochet stitch to learn. It’s a type of easy puff stitch that can be picked up quickly even by beginners.

The final technique used on this slouchy hat is the fact that two colors are used, but you can easily change it to use only one color.

Grab two yarn colors you like, or make it a solid colored crochet pattern.

To make this crochet hat you can substitute with almost any 6 super bulky yarn.

Make sure you create the correct size by measuring your head circumference and also testing gauge. 

Honestly, you could also substitute with a thinner yarn, such as a worsted weight yarn. However, you will then have to increase the number of stitches and rows you crochet to achieve the correct size.

  • 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.

Changing Color With Different Color On Different Rows

When working with different colors on different rows, you’ll never finish the last stitch on the last row with one color, with the color you where working with.

Do all the steps of the stitch, then leave the last step unworked. Yarn over with the color for the next st & pull yarn through.

Repeat this for every row you change colors to make the color changes look beautiful.
