Snow Drops Slouchy Hat for Babies, Toddlers, Children and Adults

The Snow Drops Crochet Pattern Collection has been my most popular, hands down! The collection is already pretty extensive including a Mod Scarf, Ear Warmer, Mittens and of course this Slouchy Hat pattern that I published last winter. But since then, so many of you have asked for this hat pattern in multiple sizes! So I went ahead and added sizes for baby, toddler and child to go with the adult sized hat I already published. Now you can make Snow Drops Slouchy Hats for everyone - hooray! Keep reading for the free crochet pattern.

Did Someone Say ‘Video Tutorials’?

When I’ve asked the members of my Facebook community what they love about this hat I hear many people mention the colors and also the star stitch used in the pattern. So here’s the 411 on what you love most about this hat:

  • the yarn = Caron Cakes “Faerie Cake” - one of my faves!
  • the star stitch is easier than it looks, and I have a video tutorial to get you started with it! (There is also a video tutorial for starting a hat with that lovely SC ribbed band)
