Emily’s Super Slouchy Crochet Hat

After posting Emily’s Super Slouchy Knit hat, I had quite a few requests for a crochet version, so here it is! This playful hat can be worn with the brim folded up or left down. It is super slouchy, so even with the brim folded up, there is still some slouch left, and your ears will be toasty warm. I’m a big fan of warm ears!
