Autumn Frost Slouchy Hat Crochet Pattern

October 19, 2016 by Bethany 21 Comments

I found myself yarn shopping a few months ago. My color choices can sometimes be a bit drab. What can I say? Gray will always have my heart. But something made me decide to order a very bright, very hot pink yarn. I bought it in a few weights and fibers (you can see it in this Chunky V-Stitch Cowl), and I have decided it’s going to be my winter color theme! It’s such a bright, gorgeous pop to the drab winter months of the year. And I love the contrast between my lovely and humble gray, and the hot, bright pink. Isn’t this hat gorgeous? I call it the Autumn Frost Slouchy Hat.

(Heaven help me, coming up with names is not someting I excel at.)

      Do you have too many stitches, or not enough?

    This pattern also makes a lovely convertible hat/cowl. I used a darker, ‘stonewashed’ grey and neon purple for the pom poms at the ends of the tie. I made it for my sister in law but I think I am going to have to make one for myself too!

    Hi Bethany, Thank you for the pattern! I used Caron Cake and when I followed the stitch count as written, the band was 16.5’. I added six stitches to the pattern and hooked 47 stitches to get a 19.5’ . I wanted to share my notes in case anyone finds the band too small for an adult head.

        I’m a bit off your guage. 6 stitches (3 of the dc/sc clusters)=2 inches.

    I LOVE winter. I can breathe easier and just like the coolness in the air and being able to bundle up. And love gray too. Especially when it has a pop of color like this pink pompom. Thank you for sharing. :)

        Got it; I hadn’t read correctly. I only saw row 2 instead of 2-41. Thank you!

    Slip stitching to join at the end of each row? Turning, or no? Don’t have a hook or yarn in my hand yet, so I’m just reading and comprehending right now. Can’t wait to try it — looks so cute. Thanks for the pattern!
