A simple back-post double crochet can create great depth of texture with ease. This Benson Slouchy Hat Easy Crochet Pattern is a fantastic way to increase your crochet skill by using rounds of back-post double crochets to create a wonderfully ridged beanie in a few short hours.

The pattern (which is one size fits most adults) calls for approximately 200 yards of a worsted weight acrylic or yarn fiber of your choice. Also needed are a USJ10/6.00mm hook, tapestry needle, scissors, and a pom-pom maker (size of your choice) or premade pom pom, if pom pom is desired. The pattern features clear written instructions and notes on how to adjust the length of the finished hat.

Give this pattern a whirl and you’ll be stitching up beanies that are fun and full of awesome texture in no time!
