"Flight of the Bumblebee" Slouch Beanie Pattern & Tutorial


Hi Friends! Tody's free pattern is the "Flight of the Bumblebee" Slouch. I thought this name was cute and decided o use the stitch name :). The 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 a child 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.

Instructions | Child Size


Co 40 sts, add stitch marker and join careful not to twist sts.

Please note that in the video, I cast on one more stitch for the Invisible Joining method.


BRIM | US13/9mm Circular Needles


Brim: *ktbl, p1. Rep from * around. You're going to repeat until yo have 6 rounds of brim. You can adjust the height of the brim as desired with less or more rounds.


BODY | US15/10mm Circular Needles


Round 1-2: p all sts around.

Round 3: *p3, k1L (see special stitches above). Rep from * around.

Round 4-6: p all sts around.

Round 7: *p1, k1L, p2. Rep from * around.

Round 8: p all sts around.


Repeat Rounds 1-8 until beanie measures approx. 10-11 inches measuring from the bottom of the brim. This is 2-3" taller than the child's "height" measurement. See chart below.



Decrease Rounds

Switch to dpns when stitches are too tight on circular needles or try the Modified Magic Loop!



Round 1: *p2, p2tog. Rep from * around.

Round 2: p all sts.

Round 3: *p2, p2tog. Rep from * around.

Round 4: p all sts.

Round 5: *p2, p2tog. Rep from * around.


Finishing

Cut yarn leaving long tail. Using a tapestry needle, weave through remaining stitches as if to knit and pull tight. Secure and weave in all ends.


Pom Pom

Using an extra-large pom pom maker (or desired size), make pom pom by wrapping yarn around pom maker until full or as thick as you’d like and attach to beanie.

If you don't want to make your own, I found these on amazon and I LOVE them so much! I don't know how long the sale is going to last but it's such a steal if you ask me!
