Today's pattern & tutorial is on the Knit Cera Slouch Beanie. This free pattern is for an adult size. If you'd like to purchase the convenient tri-fold pdf pattern (in 4 sizes), please visit my any of my shops.
I designed this beanie on our recent camp trip. Most of the time, I have no idea how things are going to work out. You imagine a design but sometimes, they finish differently than what you envisioned in your head!
This one was completely different than what I imagined. When you're knitting lace stitches with super bulky yarn, the holes are much larger than if you were to knit with lighter weight yarn. I really didn't like it at first but it grew on me...
