The Riptide Slouch Hat is very simple to crochet. The colors you choose really make a difference. Mixing the right light and dark color can really make this beehive style crochet slouch hat work!
Make it longer by repeating the repeat as many times as you desire before closing off the hat.
This is a great unisex hat as well so why not make one for the whole family!

That’s so wonderful to hear! So glad you like the pattern that much. I hope you guys have a wonderful holiday season.
Hi, the previous message was me, I’ve changed my name since. I made one of this pattern for my BFF. She has worn it every fall and winter since. It’s such a good pattern, that I’m making one for me now. Thank you for the pattern.
Whoops! Thank you so much for letting me know about that. I’ve corrected the mistake 🙂
I think there is a typo. In rounds 3 and 4, it says “BDDC” instead of “BPDC”. I was confused at first, before I figured out that it must be a typo. Thank you for the pattern. 🙂
