New knitting pattern: Catalina slouch beanie

This hat is my latest pattern. I got a stitch dictionary book a few weeks ago and I'm all over it trying new stitches and I found this wavy pattern. The stitch is easy to memorize after a few rounds and the texture is incredible. Because I chose a bamboo blend worsted weight yarn for this project the yarn can easily be changed for another with 100% wool content or other animal fiber and the blocking would be more defined.
It's a quick project even for a gift. Catalina slouch beanie is ideal to accessorize mid-season outfits.

  2. I wish I could knit. Crocheting doesn't seem to be an issue. I love the looking of knitting and this slouchy hat looks positively lovely.
