You can crochet this knit-look, 2 colour, stripped slouch! This hat is crocheted using 2 different colours of fingering weight cotton, which gives this hat year round appeal. Plus, I show you an easy way to switch the colours without having to fasten off, and having a ton of yarn ends to work in.

This well written crochet pattern calls for a 3.25 mm (D) and a 2.75 mm (C) crochet hook, and 1 to 1.1 balls (depending on the size made) of each colour of Knit Picks® Comfy Fingering 50 g (1.76 oz)/199 meters (218 yds) per ball or comparable yarn. The pattern includes illustrations and instructions for 3 different sizes to fit ladies 21” to 23” in circumference. The pattern calls for the following stitches and techniques: double adjustable ring, single crochet, and front post double crochet.
