How to Crochet a Slouchy Hat for 18″ Dolls

Today we have another crochet accessory for an 18” doll: the crochet slouchy hat.  This is another really simple pattern that can be whipped up rather quickly.

I’ve mentioned before how I peeked into the world of doll clothes a few years ago and discovered a whole world out there that I knew nothing about.

After climbing down rabbit hole after rabbit hole of doll clothes and ideas on Pinterest, I decided to try my hand at making up my own patterns.

This crochet slouchy hat for 18″ dolls was a result of those experiments. And it looks adorable on a fashion conscious doll!
