Soo I never would have come up with this slouchy hat had I not made this adorable cup cake beanie by the talented Twinkie Chan see her * paid * patterns on ravelry! I was intrigure because this hat is NOT made from the top down and that's all I will say about this pattern here is my brand new slouchy pattern!!! I will release variation later this week and month and I have been making this hat non stop here is the basic version I used the pictured yarn above but any 4 ply will do along with a J crochet hook chain any odd number from 21 to 27 ( 21 will be not so slouchy 27 will be very slouchy) you are working this hat side to side....  Row 1 hdc in 3rd chain from hook *skip 1, 2 hdc in the next* repeat until the end Row 2 sl over the first stitch chain 2, hdc, *skip 1, 2dc) repeat until the end... in the last stitch do 2 hdc so it slants and increases, ***every row should have the same amount of stitches we skip 2 on one side and add two on the next** Pl

Hey all I was on facebook ( the timing stealing void) this morning and a group of people were trying to figure this out... Now it's not exact but here is my take this was a fun challenge to figure out! Start by chaining the length you want in any multiple of 5 that is odd ( 25,55, 105...you get the point) Row 1 ch1( step up) sc 5, chain 5, skip 5, sc5* repeat until the end of the row row 2 chain thebegin number 25, 55 , 105 , what ever number you stared with ,cut yarn  weave it in and out of the chain 5 spaces and sl in last stitch weave in ends row 3 and all odd rows follow row 1 row 4 and all odd rows follow row 2 below are some photos i took while I was figuring this stitch out :)  1 4 3 2

Never put down your hook because your wrists or fingers are cold! These chiq gloves are fashionable and practical! Supplies I used Lion brand cashmere yarn ( it's a thin 4 ply yarn feel free to use any brand ) 1 ball made 2 gloves this size with enough left over to make a flower size J hook optional ribbon Round 1  make 23 foundation double crochet or Chain 25  (for a bigger or smaller size chain less or more) and dc in the 3rd chain from the hook work 1 dc in each chain **use a stitch marker if needed, this pattern is worked in the round** Round 2 and 3 *1 fpdc on the first dc, 1 bpds on the nxt * repeat until the end of the round * this is just like basket weave but we are going to create ridges , so on the 3 rd round your fpdc should match up and your bpdc should match up Round 4 add in the thumb holes!!! you can add them in anywear in the round ( if your joining at the beginning isn't that pretty do a few stitches so that will be hidden) cha
