This pattern is available for FREE on my blog or you can purchase the ad-free, large print PDF.

The Autumn Joy Slouch Hat is a great accessory to add to your wardrobe. It’s lacy design keeps it light and breathable for year round wear and the three beads are a stylish alternative to the more traditionally used button.

This is an intermediate level pattern. The only stitches you need to know are the single crochet and the cluster stitch.

There are two PDF’s included with your purchase. One contains the written pattern with one photo and the second contains the tutorial photos that go with the written instructions. It was done this way so that you have the option of not printing the photos if you don’t want to. There are 15 photos in the second PDF.

This pattern uses size 4 medium weight yarn and a G/6 (4.35 mm) and I/9 (5.25 mm) crochet hook. The three beads are optional. You can stitch a button on the band or leave it plain. You can add a pompom to the back or you have the option to make it a messy bun hat by leaving the back opened 2”. Instructions are included on how to do this.
