This pattern is available for free.

This pattern is for a very slouchy beanie style hat, it is very simple but could be made dressier by using embellishments such as a bow or flower.
The pattern is written using UK terms and hopefully the way I like to set out my patterns will be easy for everyone to follow. Any problems then just leave me a comment and I will get back to you as soon as possible.
It uses around 50g of yarn.

DC = Double Crochet, INC = Increase, rnd = round, TR = Treble crochet, DEC = Decrease, numbers in brackets are the total number of stitches.

1) DC 5 in magic ring (5)
2) INC rnd (10)
3) INC rnd (20)
4) (TR, INC) rnd (30)
5) (TR 2, INC) rnd (40)
6) (TR 3, INC) rnd (50)
7) (TR 4, INC) rnd (60)
8) (TR 5, INC) rnd (70)
9) (TR 6, INC) rnd (80)
10) (TR 7, INC) rnd (90)
11 - 16) TR rnd (90)
17) (TR 7, DEC) rnd (80)
18) (TR 6, DEC) rnd, (70)
Slip stitch x 2 then finish off, weave in the loose end.

Enjoy! Again, if there are any problems let me know! I am also interested in how other people find reading patterns the way I set them out so give me some feedback please folks!
