    Free Crochet Pattern | "Knit-Look" Bulky Slouch (4 Sizes)

    Nov 4, 2015 by Jennifer Renaud

    Free Crochet Pattern: "Knit-Look" Bulky Slouch (4 Sizes) by A Crocheted Simplicity

    I've been trying to come up with ideas for super quick gifts this year and the “Knit-Look” Bulky Slouch is next on my list of things to make as gifts! It’s PERFECT for teacher gifts and gifts for family….even picky teenagers! ?

    It’s also PERFECT for craft fairs! I used Lion Brand Wool Ease Thick & Quick (less than a skein). The BEST part about this slouch?!?! It took less than an hour to make, including making a pom! The combination of the cost and time to create makes it a PERFECT item for craft fairs! ?

    "Knit-Look" Bulky Slouch

    Materials: US Size 12.00mm crochet hook( My hook of choice can be purchased through our affiliates: Clover Amour Crochet Hook, 12 mm) (or proper hook to obtain gauge), yarn needle, scissors

    Yarn: Bulky / 6 Weight (85 yards), Lion Brand Wool Ease Thick & Quick Stripes (Lion Brand Heartland Thick and Quick Yarn) was used for the slouch in the upper left photo, Lion Brand Hometown USA was used for the slouch in the upper right photo (just a tad more than a full skein since the yardage per skein is less)

    Difficulty: Intermediate

    Gauge: In pattern stitch (10 sts X 4.58"; 4 rows = 2″)

    Sizes

    • Toddler (18" - 19")
    • Child (19" - 20")
    • Teen / Adult Small (20″ – 22″)
    • Adult Medium / Large (23″ – 24″)

     

    Abbreviations

    • ch(s): chain(s)
    • sl st: slip stitch
    • sc: single crochet
    • st(s): stitch(es)
    • yo: yarn over
    • BLO: back loop only
    • modified slst2tog: See Special Stitches

     

    Special Stitches

    • (Modified) Slip Stitch 2 Together (slst2tog): Insert hook into same st as previous st worked, yo, pull up a loop, insert hook into next st, yo, pull up loop and pull thru both loops on hook. **This st is modified because you begin each one in the previous st worked, therefore, your st count will not decrease. **Note: It will seem as though you’re working these sts along the backside of the previous row of sc.

    Notes

    • The ch-1 at the beginning of each row does not count as a stitch.
    • First stitch of each row is worked into the same st as the beginning chain, unless noted otherwise.
    • Changes for sizes are written as follows: Toddler (Child, Teen/Adult Small, Adult Medium/Large)

    Shop our affiliates for additional yarn choices:
