Winter Slouch Hat

After making the purple slouch hat I wanted to make another one, but I wanted this one to be warm because it's cold in Michigan right now.
I have this pattern available for $3.00 in My Etsy Shop if anyone is interested.









and here is what it looks like if you just want a plain winter hat




What do you think?

April this is the first time Iv done this stitch, I really love it :) thanks for sharing it, when I am done I will show you :)

AprilDraven said...

oooh I love Dark Sage. I think I will make my next hat that color :) I'm glad you learned a new stitch. I love FPdc and Bpdc. I use it a lot in the trim of most of my hats. I would have to say it is my favorite special stitch :)

Iv used it once before but awhile back, this is a real easy hat to make :)
I thought going into it man I dont know if I can do this .

LOL whats funny is I cant do a simple Granny square rofl

Ok I admit I am stuck. Iv ripped this out a couple times.
Ok on Rnd 4:
(ch 2, *(1 fpdc, 1 bpdc) do what is in parenthesis around same stitch, 1 fpdc, 1 bpdc* rep from * to * around (48) join with 1 ss)
Ok 1 fpdc, 1 bpdc in first stitch
ok here is where I am stuck.
1 fpdc in next stitch ,
then in next stitch do the bpdc?

AprilDraven said...

hello there!
I stumbled on this through craftster and thought I'd give it ago.
for some reason I can not get the number of stitches to match yours (i've been doing this for hours).
round three and everything is fine but at the end of the fourth I end up with 44.
The only way I can get it to 48 is if I increase on every other stitch rather than first stitch out of every three. so like (fpdc,bpdc) fpdc then (fpdc,bpdc) bpdc.
I have no idea where I am going wrong =( xoxo

Ok thanks april, I can e-mail the pics to you if you want

AprilDraven said...

There is also a good possibility I counted wrong so I will find out when I do it again and take pics.

deebriese said...

OH Thanks! I am so excited but the first few rows I need clarification on it. I just decided to add in the stitches that I missed to make it equal what pattern says and its just not right the ridges are not even. I am fb around bp and bp around fp making it look funky. Thanks D

AprilDraven said...

ok I had a MAJOR error. I just corrected it. there is an extra (1 fpdc, 1 bpdc). That should fix it.

sorry everyone :(

AprilDraven said...

AprilDraven said...

I'm glad everything works out now :) Thanks Everyone! Sorry I didn't reply sooner. For some reason some of my updates got sent to my spam folder. I am going to have to keep an eye out for that in the future.

how many rows did you add on to have the slouch effect?

AprilDraven said...

Kaneesha: I don't understand your question. I posted the pattern.

Anonymous said...

im sorry for the confusion: if you exclude the "Note" after Round 5 will you end up with the slouch hat? If not, how many rows of the Note pattern do you need? I really hope this makes since now. Thanks

AprilDraven said...

if you skip the note you will still end up with the slouch hat. The note just makes it bigger around. :)

Anonymous said...

i'd use the note if i wanted more hat. got it. thanks :))

AprilDraven said...

yep ;) Glad you got it now :)Have fun.

Danielle said...

what do you mean by 'TRIM'?

AprilDraven said...

Trim is just to tell you that the next part is the Trim of the hat, The Band.

Hi April,

I saw this hat in Etsy, too bad the pattern is for sale. :(. Is it okay for you if I made one based on this hat? (As of now, I can't afford to buy the pattern.). You are a very good designer. Hope to hear from you soon.
