The Idea of the name for this stitch is from Becky from Grammy’s Creations. She told me how to shorten the name for easy to remember. I want to thank again Becky and other crochet blogger friends for the great help. 🙂

Skill level Intermediate

Finished size (adult)

• Hat length top to bottom with band = 10”
• Hat Circumference = 21”
• Band = 1.5” x 21”

Materials

I used 2 strands of sport weight yarn held together (15 WPI)

You can use worsted/ bulky weight yarns match with the gauge instead of 2 strands of sport weight yarn. I found these Worsted yarns match with the gauge.

• Gray color = Approx: 230 yards of worsted/bulky. (400 yards total to work with 2 strands of sport weight yarn)
• 5mm crochet hook to make a band
• 6 mm crochet hook

Abbreviations

• ch(s) = chain(s)
• sc = single crochet
• hdc = half double crochet
• dc = double crochet
• fpdc = front post double crochet
• st = stitch
• sl st = slip stitch
• sk = skip
• ch-sp = chain – space
• [] = work instructions within brackets as many times as directed
• * to * = work instructions within brackets as many times as directed.

Special stitch:

• fpdc2tog: [Yarn over, insert hook from front to back and to front around the post of the next st, yo, pull up a loop, yo and pull back through 2 loops] 2 times, yo and pull through all loops.

Gauge: 13 dc and 7 rows = 4” with 6mm crochet hook.

Note:

• beg ch does not count as st.
• Use the stitch marker to not to miss last st in each round.
• This slouch worked bottom-up.

About the pattern

The texture of this crochet stitch I used to EHC slouch looks like the honeycomb. It’s really stretchy. I really love this stitch pattern. That’s why I have already started neck warmer with this stitch.

Finishing

Close top of the hat. (I used contrast color yarn to show you it clearly. See the images below)

Turn inside out first. I forget to do that when I took these example photos.

Insert the yarn through tapestry needle and weave through space between fpdc2tog sts. Pull the yarn tightly and close the top of the hat with few more stitches.

Sew the 2 short side of the band with the yarn tail. Fasten off and weave all ends.
