Slouchy Hats


 This was a free youtube tutorial by thepatternfamily. Slouchy Hat Pattern #348. Mine ended up smaller and a little scrunched up. I think because my tension is tighter than it should have been for the pattern. I changed the pattern at the brim because of that. I didn't do the decreases. 

I had this ball of baby dk weight yarn which is not what I normally buy. It was from years ago when I knew nothing about yarn weights. Now I stick to worsted weight yarn. So that's why I did this pattern because it used the smaller yarn. I still have way too much left. I'm really thinking about donating the rest to the thrift store. I just don't see myself using all of it. 

I actually made a teeny tiny bear amigurumi out of it too but thought crocheting that small was miserable. Right now I'm really into medium sized amigurumi. Not too small not to large. 

thepatternfamily youtube tutorials are a little hard for me to follow compared to some other tutorials I have watched. My favorite tutorials are definitely from BagODayCrochet. But the pattern families patterns are worth it to me to figure out. My favorite hat by the pattern family is the one that uses just the V stitch. I want to make a black one. So far I've only made scrap yarn hats from it.
