Spiro uses three kinds of stitch variations to create a lush texture of “chained” bands. This classic unisex beanie or slouchy can also show an uber-feminine side with its optional, dramatic frilled flower.

It’s worked from the top down in spiral rounds.

YARN
NOTE
For best results, use a yarn with body for the beanie. (Any worsted yarn works well for the slouchy.) This stitch pattern is very stretchy, and some yarns may not hold the beanie shape. The sample beanie is crocheted in a sturdy wool yarn that creates a head-hugging hat.
