For this Thick Mesh Slouch Hat project you will need:
For this project you’ll need:
HOOK: Size yarn recommends but I used 5 mm hook or size H hook for the US and 6 mm hook or size J hook for the US
YARN:I used worsted weight yarn, 4 ply US, 10 ply AU
1 skein of yarn for the rim of the hat, 2 skeins for the main color of the hat. Looks best in variegated colors.
The yarn can be 4 ply US or 10 ply AU but only if it’s not a stiff yarn, this hat does not do well with stiff yarn. If you can find a thicker 3 ply US or 8 ply AU this can work too.

This size fits both men and women. You can adjust the size of the hat by reducing the amount of chains done at the beginning. I recommend going done 10 chains per size for child and for toddler and also reducing number or total length for 1 inch less per size.

Finishing your Thick Mesh Slouch Hat
Round 1
To even out the top of your hat you will need to work your round like round 8 only you will be doing sc’s instead of dc’s. Sl st in beginning st to end your round.

Cut your yarn leaving a long tail.
Thread your tapestry needle and turn your hat inside out. Working along the stitches, weaving in one stitch and out the next, pull yarn after you have weaved through about 6. You are making a draw string to pull your hat closed. Work all the way around, then sew the hole closed. Tie an few knots and hide your tail using your tapestry needle.
