Spring Mesh Slouchy Beanie


Spring Mesh Slouchy Beanie


There are times on a cool night, or a crisp spring day, when a hat is needed, but not a bulky winter hat. Here is an easy mesh pattern for you to quickly whip up your very own. My niece is helping to model the hat. 


Please do not post this pattern on your website or take it as your own. I ask that you instead link to my page, which will help with internet karma. Mainly yours. Of course you can sell anything you make from this pattern. Let’s be honest, I really can’t stop you can I? :)




Stitches used:
DC – Double Crochet
Chain Stitch
FPDC – Front Post Double Crochet
BPDC – Back Post Double Crochet

Materials:
I and H hook
Tapestry needle
Stitch marker (optional)
Worsted Weight yarn or yarn of your choice



Row 1: in a magic circle dc ch1 7 times (7 dc/7ch 1 space)

(Keep in mind this is done in a spiral for a solid color beanie) If doing a stripe pattern, then ch 3 at the end of each round unless you’re that awesome crocheter who can make a spiral two-tone hat, kudos to you!
