Touch Of Plaid Beanie & Slouch

"I love the classic look of buffalo plaid, but wanted to use it only as an accent on my newest crochet hat design. The buffalo plaid hat band is the perfect accent for my new Touch of Plaid Beanie & Slouch pattern. Worsted weight yarn is my favorite weight to use for crochet beanies. Mostly because I live in the great frozen north (Michigan’s Upper Peninsula) and crochet hats made of yarns lighter than a 4, won’t keep our ears from getting frost bite…. we can’t have that! For this crochet slouch pattern, I chose to use one of my favorite yarns, Lion Brand Yarns Wool Ease. Wool Ease is available in 56 great colors! You’re sure to find one that’s calling your name. You can substitute another comparable yarn such as Lion Brand Touch of Alpaca, Lion Brand Pound of Love, or Lion Brand Heartland."
