You can choose to make the hat in the same 3 colors used for the cowl, or you can make a stylish slouch in one color only.

Here is a sneak peek of the 2 color version:
- 4 mm crochet hook (used for the ribbed cuff)
- 4.5 mm crochet hook
- Red Heart Shimmer Yarn in 3 colors ( Purpe, Black and Snow); or only 1 color if you choose to make the version without color changes.
- tapestry needle to sew in the ends
- scissors

The ribbed cuff measures unstretched 50 cm around, stretching till 58 cm and it is 4 cm tall.

Notes: The slouch hat is started at the cuff, working rows of sc blo back and fort. Folding the piece in half you will slip stitch the short rows together to form a tube. After this, you'll start working in rounds, from the edge of the ribbed cuff.
Color change for the version with 3 colors:
At the end of each round, join into round with a slip stitch made with the new color yarn.
Continue the next round with the new color.
Alternate the 3 colors each round, carrying the yarn not in use from round to round, without cutting it!

Pattern:
(For the 3 color version, here black, white and blue yarn):
1) The cuff, worked in rows (see the photo collage below)
With black yarn and a 4 mm crochet hook start with 9 ch.
Row 1: 1sc into back loop of the 2nd ch from hook and 1sc blo in each chain across. Chain 1, turn. (8 st)
Rows 2-64: 1sc blo in each st across. Chain 1, turn. (8 st)
Fold the piece in half to form a tube. Working through both loops of the stitches of each side, slip stitch across. (8 st)
Because the joining looks better on the wrong side, turn the cuff inside out and continue working. The wrong side will be from now on the right side.
2) Working in rounds around the edge of the cuff:
Switch to hook size 4.5 mm!
Round 1: Continue with black yarn, ch1, work 64 sc evenly spaced around one edge of the ribbed cuff; that means 1st in each ridge and 1st in each back ridge of the cuff. Changing to blue, join with sl st into first sc. (64 st)
Round 2: Continue with blue, ch3 (count as the first dc), 1dc in same st, *1dc in next st, 2dc in next st *, repeat around from *to *, ending with 1dc in last st, with white join with sl st into top of beg ch3. (96 sts)
Round 3: With white ch8 (count as first dc and 5ch), sk next 5sts, *1dc in each of next 3sts, ch5, sk 5 sts * ; repeat around from * to *, ending with 1dc in each of the last 2sts. With black join with sl st into 3rd ch from beginning 8ch. (12 blocks of 3dc and 12 ch spaces)
Continue the color changes, alternating the 3 colors each round!

I hope you will enjoy making the Hypnotic Heart Slouch! For a pretty set, crochet the matching Hypnotic Heart Cowl! I chose to wear the hat in solid color and the cowl made with 3 colors (and vice versa).
