Ellexa Slouch Crochet Beanie
This wonderfully cozy slouch beanie is the most fun I have ever had designing a beanie. It works up pretty quickly and the breaks with the stitches in the 3rd loop give it a good structure and definition. The band will fit between a 21-23 inch head, so if you need it larger or smaller just add or subtract rows in the band before crocheting shut. (always try your band on before you continue to the rest of the hat.) I designed this with Loops & Thread yarn, but BigTwist, Red Heart, or any other
