The soft waves of seafoam stitch are perfect for showing off colour-changing or variegated yarns. Worked here in worsted-weight yarn, they make for a comfortably drapey sideways-knit slouch, extending naturally from the simple garter-stitch brim. ?? The pattern includes an extra-long rasta version (not shown), with three sizes written for each version, and provides charts as well as written instructions. Tutorials for provisional cast-on and Kitchener stitch in garter pattern will boost your skills. **Yarn** Slouchy Beanie: 132 (149, 168) yd/121 (137, 154) m Rasta Version: 164 (181, 204) yd/150 (166, 187) m 35yd/33m for a 6x6in/15x15cm swatch in Garter St. Worsted weight, single ply yarn. **Materials** Pair 4.5mm/UK7/US7 straight needles or size needed to obtain gauge 4.5mm crochet hook Approx. 2yd/2m waste yarn Stitch marker as necessary Tapestry needle **Sample details** Shown in Rico Creative Dreams Aran (218yd/200m per 100g; 100% Wool) Shown in size 22in/56cm, Slouchy Beanie version, on model with 21.5in/54.5cm circumference head **Alternative yarn** Malabrigo Merino Worsted (216yd/198m per 100g; 100% Wool) **Gauge** 20 sts x 26 rows to 4in/10cm on 4.5mm needles over St.St. 20 sts x 28 rows to 4in/10cm on 4.5mm needles over Garter St. **Sizes** To fit sizes: 20 (22, 24) in/ 51 (56, 61) cm Finished sizes: Slouchy Beanie version: 16 (18.25, 20.5) in/ 40.5 (46.25, 52) cm Rasta version: 16 (18, 20) in/ 40.5 (45.75, 51) cm **Skills required** Knit & purl sts, yarnovers, short rows, provisional cast-on, kitchener stitch **Pattern contents** Written & charted instructions; illustrated tutorials for Provisional Cast-on & Kitchener Stitch (Garter St.) **Accessibility Statement** The main PDF for this pattern is colour blind accessible.
