In honor of my Facebook page reaching 400+ fans, a promised
new pattern - the Strawberry Slouchy! I designed this hat as a special order for
a dear friend as part of her oldest daughter’s Halloween costume. (Shout out to Brooke & Amya for the
inspiration!) This hat will fit most kids, teens and even some adults.
There are tons of free patterns on the internet for
crocheting slouchy hats. This is my go-to pattern for creating the loose,
relaxed looking beanie that is so popular right now. If you have ANY questions
about constructing this hat, please let me know in the comments, e-mail, or on Ravelry! Enjoy!
