Easy and Quick Crochet Hat Pattern Free – Accidental Slouch Hat

This post may contain affiliate links. For more details, see my disclosure page.

This easy and quick crochet hat pattern was honestly, an accident. After creating my holiday crochet planner for my crochet library, I was thinking about all my favorite tips for finishing Christmas gifts, and I realized that I had some chunky yarn in my bedside table. And a big crochet hook sitting on my nightstand! In about an hour, I had a finished hat!

Lately, I’ve been working on all sorts of fun crochet hat patterns for gifts. While we don’t have much need for a variety of winter accessories down here in Florida, much of our family lives up in the Midwest, and hats are just perfect for gifting!

But, my son took a liking to this hat. He told me it was his, and requested that I make a faux fur yarn pom pom to top the hat off. I think it looks great on him! …Albeit a little silly matching his red shorts. 🙂

This style of hat is really popular right now- I’m seeing chunky beanies like this one in stores at Target, Free People, and American Eagle, to name a few. That means they’re just PERFECT for quick and easy crochet gifts.
