If you are looking for a slouch hat that is pretty, with some great texture and that works up quickly, you are going to love the Little Rock Slouch Hat Crochet Pattern!
The Little Rock Slouch Hat features a relatively new stitch to me called the Little Rocks Stitch. This crochet stitch is quite unique when worked up. It features puff stitches that are worked in a fairly unique way which changes the final look of the stitch itself. The stitch pattern is not completely solid, but quite loose in nature which give the stitch pattern beautiful drape. This makes for a wonderful slouch hat!
The Little Rock Slouch Hat crochet pattern is worked from the bottom up (my favourite way to work a crochet hat) and I provide the adult size here with some direct down below should you wish to adjust the size.
I have worked it in a worsted/medium weight yarn called Heartland by Lion Brand Yarn. This is a 100% acrylic yarn that is super soft. It comes in a variety of colours and makes for a super cozy beanie. Along with the yarn I have used a 5 mm crochet hook. Also, you may wish to add a pompom to your hat, however this is completely optional.
