THIS PATTERN IS AVAILABLE FOR FREE ON MY WEBSITE

This is an easy to make, seamless slouchy beanie that is quick to make, and it is very popular with my teenage boys and their friends.

The Take A Hike Slouchy was inspired by my middle son who is a very active Scout, and as a Scout he takes part in many competitions, from sailing to hiking, they have loads of fun.  It gets cold and can be windy in Cape Town, South Africa, and I have, over the years made many, many beanies for my boys, and their friends - usually the night before a party, one of my sons will ask me to quickly make a beanie for a friend as a gift.
