"After designing the Knit-Look Super Bulky Slouch for adults, I decided that the kids couldn't be left out of the fun! I had to stop at the store to grab… yarn, ummmm yeah, we'll go with that (we won't mention that the real reason I stopped was for a pint of Ben and Jerry's ice cream..shhh…). So I popped over to the yarn aisle and grabbed 2 balls of Lion Brand Hometown USA. I grabbed 2 because I wanted to make sure I had enough to make a big, floppy yarn pom and there's less yardage in Hometown USA than in the Thick and Quick I used for the adult hat. I choose the color Miami Seafoam and it's an absolutely GORGEOUS color. You really need to see it in person!"

Glover Stitch Slouch Hat
"This textured crochet slouch hat is based off the same stitches I used to make the “Bulky Afghan Crochet Pattern” I had a lady comment on a post of mine asking me “to do a hat design again because it's been awhile and she always liked my designs.” So to honor all my long time followers who are a fan of my slouch hats I designed this one for you. This design is a great Unisex hat! Great for men and women! SIZING This size hat can fit a 12 year or older person. If you do need a smaller rim or larger rim you can easily change the size by removing or adding stitches in multiples of 2. The length of this hat is about 11 inches or 28 cms."

Nordic Ice Beanie
"This Nordic Ice Beanie is made using worsted weight yarn (Lion Brand's Feels Like Butta in Ice and White) and a G 4mm crochet hook. The ribbing is worked flat and then joined in the round. The hat is then worked in the round with two rounds of half double crochet (hdc) followed by a round of hdc puff stitches. You can change colors like I did or make the hat in one solid color. You also have the option of leaving the pom pom off (I just happen to love the look of poms) if you prefer that look. "
