Sock yarn creates a lighter weight version of my Ribby Slouchy. This design looks good in self-patterning and tonal variegated sock yarn, as well as solid colors for a simply classic, no-frills slouchy.

One size -- Small-Large -- fits most. This size is for 21-23 in./
53-58 cm head circumferences.

In addition, there’s an Extra Large size for 24 in./61 cm head circumferences. The pattern also offers an option to make the Extra Large size with a Small-Large ribbing band, if you have a lot of hair, or just like a fuller slouchy.

The pattern uses sock- or fingering-weight yarn, and takes 330 to 365 yd./302 to 334 m.

The main part of the slouchy is worked in spiral rounds of dc, and the ribbing is worked in joined rounds of post stitches. For a better drape, the main part of the slouchy is worked at a slightly looser gauge than usual for sock yarn.

The pattern provides written instructions using American crochet terms. It’s been tested, and I’m always happy to answer any questions you may have.
