Here’s a beginner friendly crochet slouchy beanie project to close out the winter (hopefully soon). It’s a simple, easy going project for beginners.
I’ve been on a tangent of making my own pom poms, so this crochet slouchy beanie was a perfect match to play around with them.
The pom pom shown is a snow leopard print. I have a limited quantity of these in various sizes listed on my Etsy shop if anyone is interested, as well as the printable PDF version of this pattern here.
You could also make use of some of your left over yarn and make your own pom pom with this tutorial here.
Hope you enjoy, let me know if you have any questions.
