Le′Slouch

Okay, enough of the pork talk. Let's talk about stuff that really matters: Yarn and knitting. Knitting and yarn, and cool caps.

This is really just a beret, but with a much longer crown. Usually, a beret that isn't slouchy like this one measures just four inches or so. Even three. This one's way extended so it drapes "just so."

I figure this cap will be in fashion for a season, two at the most. So if you really want to make the most of it, use a non-washable wool for the cap. This way, when it loses its cool factor, you can throw the thing in the washer and felt it.

It'll make a heckuva great bowl.

Le′Slouch is here. You can download the free pattern from my Free Pattern side bar. Enjoy!

Thank you for the pattern, Wendy!! I love it and though I dont eat pork, for some reason i think i will think of you and pork whenever I wear it ;)
Happy holidays!

[heather]

That is such a super hat, Wendy. I'm wondering though, if I'd look as chic as you in it.
Thanks for the free pattern, and your coat is fab too, by the way.

Good luck with the inlaws. ;)

[flutter]

On me, not so much. I tried them on this past weekend and just giggled!

I am trying to finish the last of the Malabrigo scarves for the teachers....so I can get on to hats for the cold....it's cold here!

[dris]

Oh dear Wendy, There must be something in the air -- something different about you. I can't quite put my finger on it . . .
Perhaps a BEE CHENG KIANG CRISPY PORK FLOSS transcendence?
Yes! Yes! That's it! You've crossed over to the dark side . . . send a postcard.

[Mickey]

i'm so making this.

[Dorothy B]

Love the hat. Just the right amount of slouch.

[Marsha]

What's that...pork in your hand?!!

Glad you got away with your pink-haired sis.

Cute hat on you. Ditto the coat.

Still laughing about the funny FIL story!!

[kitty kitty]

Thanks so much for the pattern. It is adorable!

[Wendy]

Rock on! (I love that coat too)

[Guro]

Thank you for yet another great pattern! Now I just have to decide if I'm making this one or your "purled" beret for my friend. Sigh...

[Pam]

Tryyyyy to imagine the number of things I should be doing at this time of year (when I'm this far behind tackling that list...) to which I say, "Sorry! Wendy gave us a free knitting pattern, a totally cool early present. I'm, ummm, still in pyjamas and casting on!" Thanks for your generous and creative spirit.

[Jill]

Thank you so much for the FREE pattern and it's a GREAT one!

[Audrey]
