Ready for classic yet chic? The Classic Cluster Slouchy Hat Pattern takes the beloved and classic crochet cluster stitch and gives it a chic and modern update. This pattern will compliment any colorway and works up in just a couple hours, making it perfect for a quick weekend project or when you need a last-minute gift idea.

This pattern requires approximately 252-280 yards of a worsted weight acrylic (or yarn fiber of your choice) to make an adolescent/adult small or and adult large slouchy. Other necessary tools are a USJ10.0/6.00mm hook, tapestry needle, scissors, and a medium sized pom-pom maker (or a pom-pom maker of your choice.)

I consider this pattern as easy intermediate because, although it is worked in the round and suggests using the magic circle method to begin, there are only a few stitches used (with instructions included for the cluster stitch) and many easy row repeats. The pattern is written in US terminology with notes included on how to adjust for an even larger size, if wanted.

Give this pattern a try today and you’ll soon have a fashionable, new favorite hat that will leave people begging you to make them one, too!
