Here is my free pattern for a toddler size slouch hat with brim. When I say toddler, I mean between 1-3 years of age. I start from the bottom up, so if you want to make it bigger, just increase the amount of foundation chains. This is my first self-written hat pattern and I am proud to be sharing it with you.
