This timeless, trendy, and textured, Northern Sun and Sky inspired Slouchy Beanie, is a must have for your collection!

I am blessed to live in the amazing far northwest of British Columbia Canada, just touching the land of the Midnight Sun near Alaska. We have the most incredible sun, sunrises, and sunsets, along with just stunning, spectacular cloud formations in the deepest blue, crystal clear skies. This amazing backdrop of the sky and sun are what inspired this beautiful cowl. There will be a matching cowl and ear warmer to this set soon in my Etsy, Ravlery and Lovecrafts.

This pattern is definitely not as hard as it looks, it is just the placement of stitches, and easy to get into the rhythm of once you have done a few. It is similar to a Bead stitch.

Directions are for Adult / Teen - Average. Measurement is 9.5 inches wide and 10 inches in height.

I use chainless stitches instead of Ch2 or Ch3 turning chains. For me, they just make a cleaner edges and stitches. This pattern is written without the specification of chainless stitches.
