Style it your way – the Desert Dreams Slouchy can be a multi-colored riot, or a one- or 2-colored beauty

• This hat is essentially a large mandala, with some simple decreases
• Using my Full of Fans Mandala as the basis, you’ll be sure to produce a stunning result
• Use up scrap yarn, or create it using something special; the options are endless
• The style works well as a ‘Bad Hair Day Hat’, and could also be used as a loose swim cap
• Created using mostly simple stitches, with a few more complex techniques, you’ll be proud to display your creation
• Cotton would be great to create a light weight summer hat, choose acrylic yarns for swimming, or select wool or wool-blend yarns to take the style into the cooler months
• If you are an intermediate level crocheter,  you will find this pattern easily achievable
• Full written and pictorial instructions included so that you will successfully create the Desert Dreams Slouchy over and over again
• This crochet pattern has been tested and tech edited by independent crocheters – some of their creations are shown below
