Allston is the perfect novice slouchy hat or for anyone looking for a quick, stylish hat project. It is stitched flat using only single crochet through the back loop, then seamed. It is great for gifts, charity hats or a treat for yourself. I have used this pattern myself for all three. It works with just about any worsted weight yarn so you can go basic or splurge with a luxury yarn. This hat is one women and men both love.
