Hello Everyone
It’s Friday again, and it’s coming up to spring but at least up here in the north we have a good few weeks left of cold., so I’ll be uploading the last of this seasons hats over the next couple of weeks. This beanie here is a late Christmas present to some of my friends who requested some pompom hats for Christmas.
This beanie uses some beginner friendly stitches worked in the front and back loops only giving it a knit look that worked up great with the chunky yarns.

Before we go…
As always I hope you all enjoyed today’s pattern. My fiancĂ©e and friends seem to really love slouchy beanies so I’ve been making a lot more of those recently. You can see a few of my other slouches by clicking on the following links. Crunch time slouchy beanie. Unisex beginners slouch. The sprout slouch.
You can control how slouchy this beanie is by adding more or less rows before you work your decrease.
