The Easy Peasy, Slouchy Fisherman Beanie
The Easy Peasy Slouchy Fisherman Beanie is a beanie that was completely inspired by a movie I saw recently. Have you seen “Always Be My Maybe”? If you haven’t, you should. Either way, the main actress wore this mustard-colored slouchy beanie in one of the scenes and I fell in love and had to make one for myself. Not only is it a cute, ‘wear-it-any-time-any-where’ kind of beanie, but it’s super easy to make! Over on my blog, Sigoni Macaroni, I strive to provide my beginners with easy-to-make patterns using basic stitches while also giving it a “Did you really make that?” kind of look. And this pattern does just that.
I love how easy it is to make. There are so many options from the color to resizing and even using different yarn weights. Because the construction of the Easy Peasy Slouchy Fisherman Beanie is so simple, you can create this hat using light, medium, and even bulky weight yarn! I especially love the way it looks when using a lightweight yarn.
Throughout the entire pattern, you will only be using one stitch: the single crochet. The beautifully textured, ribbed effect that you see is from alternating the usage of the front and back loop. This beanie pattern was written and designed for the average woman’s head circumference and using medium weight yarn. Within the premium pattern, you will find instructions on how to resize your beanie to fit the average toddler all the way up to an adult male. You will also find quick-reference charts within the pattern. These will tell you how many chains you need to begin with and how many rows you will need to end with for each size and yarn weight.
I hope you have just as much fun making your beanie as I did designing it!
