Mens Quick and Easy Slouch

Men's Slouch 

(modeled by a woman)

A friend of mine made me a logo so in return I made him a slouch hat and will also be making him some slippers. I decided to write out how I made it as I went. This hat would probably take less than an hour to make and works up quickly using 4 strands of DK (or light worsted) and a 10 mm hook. It should fit a 23 inch head and as you can see it is a loose fit on my new head. 

Slouch Boots - 2-3 years

This picture shows the slouch a little better. 

I am not quite finished with these, I am planning on adding a strap to the front with a button. Just haven't had time to buy them yet. The idea for them actually came to me one night when I was trying to sleep. If you want to see the look I was going for the closest picture I could find was this one http://pinterest.com/pin/189995678001399383/. I wish I had of done the sole a different colour now. Maybe on the next pair.
