Mercedes Slouch Hat Crochet Pattern

Mercedes Slouch Hat Crochet Pattern

Hats are a great accessory for all seasons, and this lightweight crocheted hat is a great one to make and wear when the weather is warmer. 

It’s worked in a fine-weight yarn, so it’s not too heavy, and mostly uses the double crochet stitch, which has a little bit of space in the stitches so it doesn’t make a fabric that’s super warm. 

The hat is worked from the top down and has a great slouch for holding all your hair or just giving a relaxed look.
