Would you believe that before now I had never ever crocheted a slouchy beanie? š® I could not be happier with the end result of my NEW design, the Back in Brugge Beanie! This crochet slouchy beanie is worked in one piece, and is easily customized to specific sizes. I am in love!
Back in Brugge Beanie
I decided to name this the “Back in Brugge” beanie because that is where the inspiration for this slouchy beanie hit me – during our family Christmas vacation. I always have to have something to work on, so after I finished a grey Painted Canyon CardiganĀ on the airplane (and wore every day of our trip!) I purchased a new Tunisian hook and got to work. I wanted to incorporate two different techniques – regular crochet and Tunisian crochet. STUNNING, don’t you think?
