I know I’m late to the slouchy hat party. I’ve been looking for a pattern that looked a certain way and I just couldn’t find it. Something slouchy, but not too slouchy. Something with texture but not too complicated. Something that didn’t look totally stupid on me but yet kept my ears warm.
Could. not. find. anything.
So I made up one.
I present to you: Another Slouchy Hat
If you would like your own slouchy hat, please try the pattern: Another Slouchy Hat Pattern
And feel free to post comments and questions here or on Ravelry.
Enjoy and stay warm out there!
Thanks for the pattern! I like the hat a lot.
Just a tad slouchy which is exactly what I’m looking for. Thanks!
The link is no good.
But the hat looks great; who wants to send me the pattern?
Not sure what was up with the link but it seems to be working now.
I always wonder what kind of circular needles did you use and how many?I don’t know how to use circular needles but I will like to try. >^-^<
I use Knitpicks Harmony circs for most everything. They are pointy without hurting my fingers, have nice smooth joins and REALLY flexible cables and they’re pretty too.
Hi, I have tried out this slouch hat but it turn out to be a size of a baby head. I used bulky yarn, less than half a ball already completed. I actually want to make one for myself..
[...] 21, 2009 by imaginecrafts I wanted a slouchy hat for winter. I used dark red curly yarn and the “Another Slouchy Hat” pattern by sleepycat. The pattern said if we wanted it more slouchy we could add a couple of rows, and I did, but it [...]
I have searched and searched for something that looks like this and finally found it. Thanks!
I made this slouchy hat. It is very, very pretty. The gauge seemed a little strange to me, so I did it with a cast on of 80 stitches, and knit a few more rows than what it called for. The size of my needles aren’t marked, but I think they’re about a 5 mm. Seems to fit me or my eight-year-old daughter equally fine. It was so much fun to knit that I’m in the middle of my second one, and will be starting a third one shortly. I think I will cast on with 72 stitches on the third one though.
Really well-written directions – easy to follow.
Thank you for sharing!
Just to let you know, it’s called a tam.
Slouchy hat, lol.
I made this Slouchy Hat (I prefer the term “Slouchy Hat” to “Tam”, thankyouverymuch). It was only the second hat I’ve ever made and I LOVE IT!
I made this thing in only one night, which is a record for me, and I’m actually unashamed to wear it (another first)! I’m going to do another one this weekend. I think I’ll try casting on more stitches and using a smaller needle for the ribbing to make it stretchier. I’ll also do more rows to make it slouchier. Everybody I know is getting one of these things for Christmas. Whether they like it or not. I’m so thrilled! Thank you thank you Sleepycat!
Im so glad I found your blog! This hat is great but I was looking for a crochet slouchy beret (on Ravelry) if at all possible. What does “magic loop” mean btw? I am a knitter but don’t work on circulars if I can help it. LOL
Great blog and BFN, Geraldine
I love this hat, its just what I’ve been looking for but I cannot knit on round needles. (Grandmother taught me with needle under arm/can’t break the habit) My question is, can I make this on steraight needles then just sew it together?? Thanks for your response
Hat looks great but I can’t open the link. Would love to have the pattern e-mailed to me! Thanks
