It’s been a while since I made something just for me, for the sake of making something!
(and this has everything to do with the super secret project I’m currently working on – more on that soon!)
My friend Stephanie from A Bag Full Of Crochet (whom I’ve met last year) designed this awesome slouch hat a while ago, and since I got dreads and am insanely worried about burning my scalp in this heat, a slouch beanie was just the thing I needed! :)
Officially this is a reversible design, meaning you can wear it the right way and inside out, but since I was in a hurry I didn’t really sew in my ends that well, so my slouch beanie isn’t reversible ;)
I used six colours (out of necessity really; I somehow have run out of cotton yarn! I guess it had to happen some day ;)) for my slouch beanie. I just love all the different textures and stitches; it keeps this design interesting and really fun to work on! I finished this in one evening, and I used Drops Paris cotton yarn and a 5mm hook.
I went to my mom’s place the other day to have her take pictures of me wearing the hat, but then my baby sister showed up, and she’s a MUCH better model than me! So I took pictures of her wearing my hat instead ;)
It looks pretty good on her too huh? Seriously, that girl could wear a garbage bag on her head and she would still look awesome! Some people can get away with anything ;)
If you’d like to make this pattern yourself, head on over to Stephanie’s Ravelry store to grab it.
OR, if you leave a comment on this blog post, you might just win the pattern! :) (open till next week, to all readers!)

Very cool beanie love how the background helps bring out the color of the yarn. Last picture is my fav. Frame it for your Mom.
June 11, 2014 at 2:23 pm
You are so right! Your sister wears the hat beautifully – but I am sure you do too!
Such a lovely use of color on a beautiful pattern!
June 11, 2014 at 2:46 pm
Love the colours and texture! Great that you can wear it from both sides. Beautiful!!

June 11, 2014 at 4:19 pm
OMG I am in love. That has to be the cutest hat ever! I hope it is easy cuz I have to have one. Love the colors you put together too.
June 11, 2014 at 4:27 pm
I love this! I really like that you used cotton yarn. Colors you used are beautiful.
June 11, 2014 at 4:30 pm
Gorgeous beanie in beautiful colours. Now you don’t have to worry anymore about burning your scalp.
Love, Margaret
June 11, 2014 at 5:01 pm
Lovely colors and looks awesome.
June 11, 2014 at 5:01 pm
It is beautiful!! Love the color choices!
June 11, 2014 at 5:11 pm
Absolutely beautiful! Love it!
June 11, 2014 at 5:14 pm
That has got to be the cutest slouch hat I have ever seen! Love, love the colors and textures. I wasn’t a fan of slouch hats……..but I am now. Thank you!
June 11, 2014 at 5:22 pm
Definitely a fun design! I have a teen in my house that I’m sure would love it!!
June 11, 2014 at 5:30 pm
Very cute! Love all the textures and colors!
June 11, 2014 at 6:05 pm
Très joli! J’aime beaucoup!
Very nice! I like it!
June 11, 2014 at 6:32 pm
I love patterns with lots of different stitches like this one. They are never boring to make.
June 11, 2014 at 7:06 pm
Whaouuu ! What a gorgeous “hat”, just like I love…enough crazy to wear, enough “crochet” style to please me, and great colors !! In other words, I love it and it really suits your little sister who is really nice with it ! Bravo ;-)
June 11, 2014 at 7:11 pm
What a great-looking hat! I love the textures obtained using different stitches and it makes the different-colored yarns really pop! It looks wonderful on your sister, but I bet it looks just as great on you!!
June 11, 2014 at 7:29 pm
What a great way to use up left over yarn and a great looking hat!!
June 11, 2014 at 7:47 pm
I think you would have looked equally as good in the hat as your sister. However I always choose to use my sisters or friends as my models too.
June 11, 2014 at 7:50 pm
I use my daughter as my model!!! She is wonderful at poses and her skin tone photographs beautifully!

Thank goodness for family and friends – and crochet!
June 11, 2014 at 8:18 pm
Gorgeous beanie, I’d love to make one ready for winter. The pace my crochet is going at the moment if I start now I might be ready by November!!!
June 11, 2014 at 9:38 pm
That hst is just so beautiful!
June 11, 2014 at 11:15 pm

June 12, 2014 at 12:02 am
I love this beanie!
June 12, 2014 at 12:04 am
Love love love this! So cute and fun!
June 12, 2014 at 12:04 am
The pattern is awesome! I really love the texture in it. I find that with a lot of slouch beanies, the patterns are very simply. They turn out great, but there isn’t a ton of visual interest with them, and my interest doesn’t get piqued and I don’t have the urge to make more than one. This beanie has all of it, the perfect slouch, the color play, and the wide array of texture! Beautiful piece <3
June 12, 2014 at 12:14 am
So cute! Love it!
June 12, 2014 at 12:15 am
This is so beautiful!!!! And yes, your model is beautiful :)
June 12, 2014 at 12:17 am
Gorgeous hat! Great way to use your leftover yarn.
June 12, 2014 at 12:19 am
It’s amazing! I love it!
June 12, 2014 at 12:22 am
It would be perfect for my mom’s birthday. She has been asking me for a beanie but she doesn’t like anything I have shown her!
June 12, 2014 at 12:26 am
I love this hat!!!
June 12, 2014 at 12:26 am
I love this slouch beanie. I want to make 2, one for me and one for my daughter
June 12, 2014 at 12:30 am

June 12, 2014 at 1:13 am
Holy cow!!! I love this slouch! I’m a texture-aholic! Just ask anyone who’s ever been shopping anywhere with me… I TOUCH EVERYTHING I pass in stores. I would probably sleep with this in my hands just to feel all the different textures…whew…I’m having stitch envy!!!
June 12, 2014 at 1:21 am
