When I was pregnant with my son, I decided to learn to crochet, you know, booties, hats and whatnot.  Well,  relearn, I should say (I took a crochet class for 4-H when I was in 2nd grade, got a blue ribbon on my granny squares).

Thank goodness for youtube! If you want to learn how to do ANYTHING, someone has posted a very helpful video tutorial. The internet is awesome.

My skills are still quite rudimentary, but I really enjoy it and there are some super-cute patterns on Etsy. Not to mention the plethora of FREE patterns out there. Restatement: the internet is awesome.

So, I thought I would throw another free pattern into the mix. It's pretty simply and easy to make: the Striped Hipster Slouchy Beanie!

You can find the pattern HERE.


This is my first crochet pattern, so PLEASE email or comment with any questions!
