This is the update of The Fishnet Beanie, which has now become The Fishnet Slouchy. (You can use this new pattern to make a beanie -- just work fewer rounds.)

With this easy PDF crochet pattern, you can create a fast, fun and flattering slouchy for men, women and teens. The fishnet pattern gives glimpses of your beautiful hair (or your beautiful bald -- or shaved -- head).

This slouchy is crocheted with a big hook, creating a gorgeous texture and a very stretchy hat, sized for Extra Small to Large. An Extra Large size is provided for people with bigger heads, a lot of hair, or who prefer a looser fit, and-or are using inelastic yarns.

Worked from the top down in joined rounds, The Fishnet Slouchy XS to L uses about 97 yd./89 m, and the XL size uses about 106 yd./97 m of bulky-weight -- which is also known as chunky -- yarn.

Yarn should have a recommended gauge between 8 to 10 sc = 4 in./10 cm. A yarn mix of two or more yarns held together to achieve the equivalent of a bulky-weight yarn also works wonderfully for this design.

WHAT YOU GET:
A 3-page PDF pattern that also provides links for technique tutorials and stitch definitions for new crocheters. Pattern is written -- no charts -- and uses American crochet terms.
