Cranberry Twist Slouch Hat Pattern

"Let this soft luxurious hat take you from day to date night. The tulip stitch gives this crochet hat a beautiful drape making it functional, yet romantic. With winter still going strong up where I live, crochet hats are a must! This slouch hat pattern is easy to follow once you get the rhythm down, and I know you will love how comfortable this crochet hat is to wear when you finish! Because I love to crochet matching sets, you can find the easy, Cranberry Twist Scarf pattern linked in the description on the site."

NotesThe main part of this hat is worked back and forth, like rows, but they are joined at the end with a slip stitch, before turning, and heading back the direction you just came. The numbers in parentheses denote (child, adult) stitch counts.
