Check out the free written pattern for this Simply Slouchy Beanie on my blog here: https://christacodesign.com/2022/07/2…
Simple patterns like this one make a great slouchy beanie crochet pattern for guys. The pattern also includes different sizes to fit the whole family.
In this video I show you how to crochet a simple slouch style crochet hat with double crochet stitches. I’m using the large adult size for men, but I also cover sizes for babies, toddlers, children, teens and small adult, or women.
A basic slouchy hat is a great way to crochet quick gifts. They’re great for customizing to favorite colors and themes.

Gauge
Gauge is how your hat will turn out the same size as the pattern’s (and fit!). If you need help on how to measure gauge start with this tutorial.
For a top down hat that’s worked in the round I like to provide the gauge in the round.
4” / 10 cm x 4” / 10 cm = 12 dc x 8 rnds
This indicates that the first 8 rounds of the pattern (which are a circle) will equal 4″ / 10cm across.
So you can follow the pattern for your size to make a gauge swatch and compare it to this.
To see if you’re matching gauge earlier, Rnds 1-3 = 3.75” / 9.5 cm across.
