This beanie is the ESSENTIAL addition to everyone’s fall and winter wardrobe. Stretch, ribbing, and CUSTOMIZABLE SIZING?? What else can be said? (Oh, one more thing -- VIDEO TUTORIAL INCLUDED !)
These hats are quick to whip up and go with everything in your closet. They are the perfect gifts for the upcoming holiday season since you can adjust the width to fit everyone in the family!
This hat is crocheted as a rectangle and then seamed up the sides. That’s what gives it its customizable nature! You can make the rectangle as long or as wide as you’d like, thus determining how slouchy the hat is and what circumference head it will fit.
One of my favorite things about this hat is the stitch I used for it. This variation of a slip stitch (but it’s not a slip stitch!) makes for a knit-looking fabric that is stretchy and doesn’t take forever to make! I love a good slip stitch ribbing, but sometimes that just takes too long. The yarn-over slip stitch combo used in this hat creates a sleek, ribbed look that gives the same effect but works up so much quicker!
Oh! And one last thing before we dive into the pattern — did I mention how many options you have for this hat? I made mine a tad bit longer so that I could fold the brim over and still have some slouch left. However, you could make it tight with no brim, or even longer with a double folded brim! That will definitely be my next one.

SIZING
This pattern is made-to-measure (can be made in ANY size) with so many customizable options (which are all detailed in the pattern!). It can be made with ANY yarn on ANY hook for ANYONE. It’s the perfect gift because it also takes only a few hours to whip up. I know I’m going to be making one in every color!

MATERIALS
Any yarn and corresponding hook size! For reference, I used DROPS Flora held double to create a DK weight yarn and a 5.0 mm hook. I would highly recommend this combination because it is affordable and quick to work up.

GAUGE
Any!
