Why Crochet a Slouchy Beanie?

A slouchy beanie is not just functional—it’s a fashion statement! Here are some reasons why this pattern is a crowd favorite:

Customization: From choosing yarn colors to adding pom-poms or embellishments, there are endless ways to personalize your beanie.

Effortless Style: The slouchy fit gives a relaxed, cool look that pairs perfectly with casual outfits or adds a boho-chic touch to more polished ensembles.

Versatility: This beanie can be worn with a slight droop at the back for that signature “slouch” or pulled down snug for warmth.

Chain Loop Yarn Poms are the easiest yarn poms to make and the best part is they are safe for babies!

Customization Ideas

Want to take this slouchy beanie crochet pattern to the next level? Here are some fun ideas for customizing your beanie:

  • Add a Pom-Pom: A large pom-pom at the top gives your beanie a playful touch.
  • Use Multiple Colors: Try using different colors of yarn to create stripes or color blocks.
  • Embellishments: Add buttons, beads, or even appliqués to personalize your beanie further.

How to Crochet a Beanie

This slouchy beanie crochet pattern is worked in one-piece from the band up to the crown.

Start with the Ribbed Hat Band: You’ll begin by crocheting the stretchy ribbed hat band of the beanie. This one-piece beanie pattern starts with a ribbed band, made by crocheting in rows using half double crochet in the back loop only (BLO). This gives the band its stretchy, ribbed texture.

Join in the Round: Once the hat band is long enough to fit comfortably around your head, you’ll join the ends together to form a circle. From this point on, you’ll be crocheting in rounds.

Crochet the Body of the Hat: After joining the band, you’ll crochet the main body of the beanie. This section is worked by alternating extended single crochet stitches in the front loop only and the back loop only.

Create the Stripes (if desired): I’ve included instructions to create a striped crochet beanie, but this hat also looks great in one solid color, colorblocked, and in self-striping yarns!

Shaping the Crown: As you near the top of the beanie, you’ll start to decrease your stitches to taper the shape, forming the crown of the slouch hat. When only a few stitches remain, you’ll fasten off and weave in the ends.

Finishing your Slouchy Beanie: After you’ve woven in all yarn tails, fold your hat band up and in half and it’s ready to wear!

Yarn

I chose a worsted weight yarn because I wanted to make sure my slouchy crochet beanie was warm enough to wear while playing in the snow. A crochet beanie made with a worsted weight yarn is warm and cozy, but not bulky.

I used Lion Brand Yarns Wool Ease for this crochet mitten pattern. It is, hands down, one of my favorite worsted weight yarns!

Wool Ease is a worsted weight / 4, acrylic wool blend yarn and it’s currently available in 31 fabulous colors! You’re sure to find the perfect colors for your cozy crochet mittens.

There are several other worsted weight yarns that would make great substitutions. Lion Brand Wool Ease RecycledLion Brand HeartlandLion Brand Pound of LoveLion Brand Vanna’s Choice… just to name a few.

I think this crochet mitten pattern would look great in an ombre yarn too!

Self-Striping Yarn: If you choose a self-striping yarn, the stripes will run vertically on the hat band and horizontally on the rest of the hat.

Solid or Stripes

The color combinations are endless for this slouchy crochet beanie pattern. Keep it simple and make it in one solid color, or add a pop of color with stripes.

The stripes are created by crocheting two rounds per color.

Tip! To keep from having several ends to weave in from the color changes of the stripes, instead of fastening off, simply carry the unused yarn up with you until you need it again.
