I wanted to design a slouchy hat easy enough for a graduate of “Beginner Crochet” to make…but with some interesting texture to make it more challenging than basic single crochet. The combination of single crochet and double crochet stitches creates a pebbly surface. The ribbed band is made in single crochet worked sideways; the body of the hat is worked into the top edge of the ribbed band.

Hope you enjoy this “Adventuresome Beginner” hat pattern!
