Willie Snug or Slouchy Beanie
Design by Marie Segares/Underground Crafter.
This simple textured and gender-neutral beanie pattern can be finished in two ways: as a snug-fitting beanie or as a slouchy hat. Available in 10 sizes from newborn through adult large, make one for everyone in the family! The free version of the pattern is available in Teen/Adult Small. For my version of this cozy beanie, I used King Cole Autumn Chunky. For the snug-fitting version, I used 5256 Chesnut (at left), and for the slouchy version, I used 5255 Frozen (at right). This is a lovely, multicolor roving yarn that is soft and warm.
Teen/Adult Small: 21” (53.5cm) hat circumference
