My brother wanted me to make him a very particular design... kind of a slouchy beanie/ long beanie that can be worn either tight on the head with a cuff or loose on the head with the slouch in the back (like in the picture). I couldn't find any crochet pattern online that was anything like it... just some knit patterns that were similar to what he wanted. So, I made up my own pattern.
Later, I created a modified version of the hat. The modified version is my favorite and is posted here
Modified Slouchy Beanie
Here is the pattern;
Bobby's Slouchy Beanie Pattern
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Materials;
Yarn; Patons silk bamboo in sapphire (color A) and ivory (color B) or another correction: light weight (size 3) yarn that is soft & slinky when finished (prior to 2/7/11 pattern read: worsted weight) My sincere apologies on the yarn weight mistake. If you bought an awesome worsted weight yarn and made the hat and it turned out humongous, you can either give it to a football player to wear over his helmet, or just unravel it and use it for a pattern that calls for a worsted weight yarn.
Hook; Size G
