I love these quick knit Slipper Socks - free pattern at LionBrand.com

Today, I discovered some free and quick knit and crochet patterns at LionBrand, along with a neat felting tutorial from Living Crafts, Tiny Treasures- Felt Painting Boards and Giveaway.




Enjoy these free treasures and I'll be back tomorrow. I'm in the middle of quick crafty wrapping for goodies that need to go in the mail.  Work, wrap and roll into the holidays with crafty flair!

Simply Slouchy!

Roxy strikes a pose! Urban Jungle Crocheted Slouchy Beanie  Pattern by Vickie Howell

The slouchy hat is still going strong.  They are comfortable, cozy and cute.  What's not to like?  Here are some of my favorite slouch hat patterns to knit or crochet which I've made for myself or for gifting. 

To knit:

Here's a great 2 needle slouch hat from Parallax Knitting.  I wore this adorable hat during the chilly days of of 2009/10 and made several for gifts. 

Camelot Hat at LionBrand is a very straight forward rib pattern and easy to make.  Likey!  It's a good all round hat for men or women, teens or tweens.

Crochet:

Easy Crochet Slouchy Beret  This easy pattern comes with a video to help you with the basic stitches. 

Urban Jungle, Slouchy Beanie by Vickie Howell was fun to make with Simply Soft, a very affordable yarn.  Vickie also includes a video demo for you.

Be one with the Slouchy!
