Thank you for sharing this pattern, it's awesome!! I'll definitely have to make one of these!
ReplyDeleteThis is pretty much adorable.
ReplyDeleteAbsolutely lovely, can't wait to make this!!
ReplyDeleteI've just started a 2nd one for a friend who saw the first one and wanted one herself. This time its going to be in beige (not my choice! I hate beige), she got the yarn so I'm not complaining (much) :D
ReplyDeletethese slouch hats are ever so popular and quite expensive in the shops! So excited to see you young gals can crochet your own unique original slouchie!
ReplyDeleteGodd for you!!!!
Granny
Lovely, really unique. Bravo.
ReplyDeleteThis is a beautiful hat! Was wondering if "Rnds 8-13" should be 10-13 or 10-15? Can't wait to give this a try.
ReplyDeleteVery pretty hat - and very flattering, too. Thanks for the great pattern!
ReplyDeleteGorgeous hat, just completed my first one this afternoon and it's great. Thank you for sharing the pattern!

ReplyDeleteYour * is in the wrong place on round 4. It's fairly self explanatory so it didn't throw me off, but it might confuse a beginner.
ReplyDeleteI found another mistake--I assume.
ReplyDeleteYou have already said what to do for row 8, yet after row 9 you say "row 8-13 repeat row 9."
Did you mean rows 10-13?
I have made my hat right up too Row 8, but I can not go any further, I have absolutely no idea what a 'FPdbltr - front post double treble crochet' is, and I can not find any tutorials on the net to show me either.
ReplyDeleteA shame, because the hat was looking lovely up until I hit this snag.
The front post double treble is the same as the front post treble but with two yarn overs at the beginning. This extends the stitch the same way a regular double treble is taller than a treble. So the stitch is yarn over twice insert hook around post of stich below, yarn over and pull through - 3 loops on hook. Yarn over and pull through 2 loops twice to complete sitch.
ReplyDeleteon round 2---is this correct?
ReplyDelete'repeat until you have 12 fpDC's???'
Should that not be 12 fpTR's????
It totally should say FPtr. Well spotted. Sometimes I confuse myself with UK/US terms - I switch between them so much!
ReplyDeleteI'll be updating the pattern as soon as I get a chance, to correct all the mistakes that have been pointed out. Keep looking - all feedback is appreciated.
Thanks so much for this pattern. I've been making scarves and blankets and wanted to try something a little more complex, and it turned out wonderfully! Extremely cute and stylish.
ReplyDeleteThis is a darling hat. I have read the posts and wonder if the update has been made. Also, it says it is written in UK terms. Can you please tell me how to change it to US terms. Thank you so much.
ReplyDeleteI use this site all the time to help me with terms and converting between US and UK terms.

I just finished one, it does look good but is really too small for me :/
ReplyDeleteWhat a shame...
Hello, a year ago, you wrote you would update this with corrections, but, i doesn't seems like it has happened? At least, I'm still confused with the round 8-13?
ReplyDeleteLove this pattern! I'm from the US and, although you mentioned it's in UK terms, I failed to look up the correct terms and worked the whole hat in (US) treble crochet.. It still turned out awesome!
ReplyDeleteI just made one tonight and I LOVE it! Thank you so much for sharing the pattern. I use US terms and it was so easy to convert it and I really love how it turned out :)
ReplyDeleteWhat does "tog" mean? (Rnd 7)
ReplyDeleteThank you for this pattern, I have been searching for a "fancier" slouchy hat pattern, and this is it! Most look so boring, like tube socks for your head. I was even able to find yarn that is almost an exact match...Lion Brand's "Tweed Stripes Bulky Yarn" in Mixed Berries. And it'll be perfect for a 20yr old young lady with your exact hair too :)
ReplyDeleteI love this! The trebles make it fast and your explaining of front post work makes it so easy. Thank you so much!
ReplyDeleteThank you for this pattern. It worked up really quickly & the resulting texture from the blo & fp trebles is gorgeous. I made this up as a Christmas gift for a friend & can't wait to see her wearing it!
ReplyDeleteThank you; great hat I made few and they look great
ReplyDeleteAre we still decreasing in row 10-13?? same as rnd 9...which states in blo tr in next 4 sts , skip next st. or close to that
ReplyDeleteI realize this pattern is from a few years ago..is there any way to get a stitch count for round 7?
