I’m excited to share a granny stitch slouch hat pattern in 10 sizes today. The Julietta Bottom-Up Granny Stitch Slouch Hat pattern starts with a Hat Band crocheted flat in rows which is seamed. Then, you’ll crochet in the round to finish off this granny stitch slouch hat. It’s open stitches make it perfect for transitional weather.
