Urban Jungle Slouch Beanie

I posted the pattern I made it from and pictures on tumblr and it seemed to be very popular.
I got the original pattern from one of favorite tumblrs allaboutami.tumblr.com. (I should follow more crochet craft tumblrs haha).
I used Caron Simply Soft in a tan-ish color and a size H hook.

You start by making a ribbed band. I chained 10 or so, and then single crocheted in the front loop only. I continued the rows until the band wrapped around my head and then I sewed the ends together so it became a band.

And then you start puff stitching in every other single crochet space. (In the picture you'll see every space, but trust me, I've started and restarted this many times, and puff stitching every space is insane, and you will use up way too much yarn. So unless you want a very dense and stiff hat, every other sc is good.) 

I kept going in the round until I felt like it was long enough. My problem is that I hate counting and measuring so I just wing everything, and that's probably why I have many problems sometimes. I should really keep track of rows, stitches, and length better, but anyways, see the original pattern on allaboutami's tumblr for more specific instructions.

You sew the top together by stitching across one end to another to make like a star shape, and you're done!

After finally finishing my first one, my boyfriend also wanted one so I made him one too.

Hi

There are so many different modes for blog postings and whatnot, and although I do have tumblr, I decided I'd start a blog here too for more specific posts like maybe recipe attempts, baking attempts, crochet projects, etc; more craftsy things. By no means do I call myself an expert or want to pretend to do so. I'm just an interested follower trying to test out new and interesting things that I find for fun. So, here it goes. I don't know how much I'll end up posting here, but here goes nothing.
