Cranberry Twist Slouchy Bonnet

"This free crochet pattern for a festive, slouchy bonnet, or hat is easy to make once you get the hang of the repeats, and looks so cute! The main part of this hat is worked back and forth, like rows, but they are joined at the end with a slip stitch, before turning, and heading back the direction you just came. Over-all it's pleasantly slouchy, has a nice big brim, and fluffy pom-poms (because pom-poms make everything better--well almost). Take on winter in style! Includes both adult and child sizes. An extra suggestion: add a lining to make this hat even warmer!"
