Soft, fluffy and slouchy! The New Moon Slouch Hat matches last week’s scarf pattern perfectly. This hat is lightweight and very soft, making it very comfortable to wear!

It uses the remainder of the Caron Latte Cake that we dug into last week for our scarves. I love being able to use all of a ball of yarn! No left-overs to stash away!

This hat is shaped at the top to close-up nicely so you can get away without a pompom if you wish! I’ve been trying to decide if I wanted a pompom or not on my hat…what do you think?

The band of the hat is crocheted back-and-forth in rows. The hat body is added directly to the edge of the band and the remainder of the hat is crocheted in joined rounds.

Finishing

Thread your yarn end onto a yarn needle and weave it in and out through the fl of each rem st around. Pull to cinch the top closed. Thread the needle through to the inside of the hat and weave the yarn end in and out of the sts to secure it before trimming your yarn end.

View this tutorial for help: Finishing technique for Hats

Using the left-over yarn from R1 of the hat band, whipstitch the hat band edges closed and weave in the remaining end.

Add a pom pom to the top of your hat if you wish!
