Nature Slouch Crochet Pattern

It's that time of month again! That's right, The 12 Months Of Slouchy Hats! Unfortunately, this month's designer had a family emergency, but I didn't want y'all to miss out so I am filling in for November. This is one of the first experienced patterns I've released, and hope y'all like it as much as I do. It can be a little difficult, and that is why it's marked as experienced. This pattern uses a moss stitch, worsted weight yarn, and 8.00mm hook.
