Who doesn’t need a slouchy beanie? They’re great for everything from keeping warm to making a fashion statement to even covering a bad hair day! They knit up quickly, which is awesome, because you can make a whole collection of these in every color to match any outfit.

Classic Slouchy Beanie Pattern

While made of wool, you can swap just about any similar weight yarn to make this hat warmer weather-friendly. A nice cotton would swap in well (Sugar’n Cream comes to mind and is on sale all the time at JoAnn’s). Making this classic beanie in cotton would make it fit right in with the beanie-plus-tshirt trend that keeps coming back.

    I love this hat! I was wondering if you could do a post about being in a knitting rut? I’ve been knitting a lot over the past year or so but find myself unmotivated and not really loving any project lined up in my queue. Any advice?
