Hi Friends! Today's free pattern is the Knit Bellamy Slouch. The full video tutorial for this pattern is available on my YouTube Channel. A left handed video is also available.
This post contains affiliate links. Please see bottom of post for more information.
I used Lion Brand's Wool Ease Thick and Quick, Glacier. This is a wool blend (20%) but if your skin doesn't love the wool blend, then, Hometown USA Yarn may be a good alternative. This a100% acrylic yarn. They also have all acrylic in Thick and Quick Bundle. It looks like the Wool Blend.
The free pattern is for an adult size only.
You can find the ad-free pdf pattern in my shops or save it as a favorite. Links to video and resources are provided in the pdf pattern as well.
