Violet, the Slouchy Head Friend     I love this stitch pattern—so much so that I crocheted 2 versions of this hat. While working on the second one, I took careful notes about what I did so I could post the pattern for you all to make your own versions! I swear, I haven't taken this hat off since I've made it. One version or the other is always on my head. When I was out shoveling snow yesterday I had the solid version on, then when I came in to get warm, I put the wet, snow covered hat asside to dry and the lacy version took its place on my head. They're so comfortable and easy to make.       $4.00 Pattern available as a downloadable pdf. Link will be e-mailed after purchase.
