Slouchie Beanie Pattern
Materials
One Ball of Size 4/Medium Weight Yarn (I used Caron Simply Soft Sparkle (in Red) and
I hook (5.5mm) for teens and ladies
J (6mm) hook for men
Stitches Used:
Magic Circle (MC)
Chain (Ch)
Slip Stitch (SS)
Double Crochet (DC)
Increase DC (IncDC)
Single Crochet (SC)
Back Loop Single Crochet (BLSC)
Single Crochet Decrease (SCDec)
Notes
- Ch2 does not count as a stitch.
- Do not turn at the end of any rows.
- Leave a 4”+ Tail in your Magic Circle to weave in and secure afterward.
- Do not fasten off before beginning brim. The separation of sections is just in case you made more or less than 17 rows when creating your choice of length.
- In the video I move seamlessly from the 3 *SCDec + 1 BLSC* at the end of row three into the 2 *SCDec + 1 BLSC* at the begining of row 4. That is why I say to do it FIVE times. Please, forgive any confusion.
