Homey Slouch Beanie

Homey Beanie is a companion to Homey Cardigan, available here on Ravelry. Worked in a 10 ply yarn, it is a quick and enjoyable project, making it the perfect knitted gift. The beanie is meant to be worn with a slouch but if a more traditional look is preferred, one can start the crown shaping earlier by skipping the last Stripes repeat. **Gauge** 18 stitches & 28 rounds = 10cm (4”) in stockinette stitch, blocked. 19 stitches & 28 rounds = 10cm (4”) in 2/2 Rib, blocked and unstretched. **Materials** **MC** 47 (55, 63) grams of a 10ply (worsted weight) yarn of approximately 250m per 100g.
