Artesia Slouchy Crochet Hat by Alicia LaFontaine
What is Being Made
The Artesia Slouchy is an intermediate-level crochet hat designed by Alicia LaFontaine and published by CatScratchCrafts. This slouchy-style hat is available in three finished sizes: Adult Small, Medium, and Large. The design features a relaxed, comfortable fit characteristic of slouchy hats, making it suitable for casual everyday wear.
Crochet Techniques and Construction
This pattern is worked entirely in the round without turning at the end of any round, which is a fundamental technique for creating seamless circular garments in crochet. The construction method allows for continuous spiral rounds that form the crown and body of the hat. The pattern includes adjustable length options, as crafters can add or subtract repeats of Rounds 6-10 within the stretch of Rounds 11-20 to customize the slouch depth and overall length to their preference before completing the final shaping rounds.
Stitches and Stitch Techniques
The pattern utilizes chain stitches (Ch) as foundational elements. Important stitch conventions in this pattern include the notation that Ch-2 does not count as a stitch and Ch-1 does not count as a stitch throughout the entire pattern. This distinction is crucial for accurate stitch counting and proper pattern execution, as these chains serve as spacers or connectors rather than contributing to the stitch count itself.
Materials and Tools
- Yarn: Approximately 190 yards for Adult Small, 210 yards for Medium, or 230 yards for Large. The pattern calls for worsted weight yarn in a wool/acrylic blend or fiber of your choice. The featured yarn shown in the pattern is Herrschners Pastry Puff in the Red Velvet colorway.
- Hook: Size US-J 10.0/6.00mm crochet hook
- Additional Tools: Scissors and a tapestry needle for weaving in yarn ends
Pattern Notes and Customization
This downloadable PDF pattern includes important customization guidance. The pattern may be adjusted in length by adding or subtracting repeats of specific rounds, allowing crafters to achieve their desired slouch level. However, the pattern notes that any deviation from the specified width or length will likely result in a difference in the yardage required compared to what is written in the pattern, so adjustments should be made with this consideration in mind.
Skill Level
Rated as an intermediate crochet project, the Artesia Slouchy is suitable for crafters who have mastered basic crochet stitches and are comfortable working in the round with pattern modifications.
