Toddler Stripe Slouch Beanie Free Knitting Pattern
I know, I know- knit hats in July ? If you’re a knitting fanatic like me, you don’t put the needles down just because it’s summer! I love to sit in front of the A/C with my knitting project to escape from the heat.
This Toddler Stripe Slouch Beanie is the perfect hat for those chilly Fall mornings. I knit this hat using cotton yarn. It has a lot of stretch so it can easily fit toddler sizes 2-4.
These little cotton bonbons yarns kept popping up on my Amazon home page. I couldn’t resist the pretty Fall colors so the great price so I decided to give them a try. I was very pleased! The colors are vibrant and the yarn is very soft but still substantial. These bonbons are perfect for smaller projects like hats and gloves.
