Today I am revamping an old pattern–my first pattern actually. I didn’t have any idea what I was doing then(I am still learning, actually), but I was so proud of my first design. It was after this pattern that I decided I loved designing, and that I wanted to take my blog in a different direction.
Crochet. More crochet.
Since this pattern needed a bit of work and new photos, I decided to give it new life. I still love wearing my Striped Hipster Slouchy Beanie. It works up quickly, has a classic shape and is so comfy.

Turn your hat inside out. Close your hat by threading a piece of yarn in and out through the last stitches at the top. Pull tight, closing the top. Tie a study knot and trim ends.
Finish your hat by sc along the bottom of the band, giving it a nice edge.
I love this hat. So comfy. I love that it’s cool enough to wear a warm hat in the evenings here.
Thanks for sticking with me! Designing has become one of my favorite things, and I am so grateful for the experiences it has brought me. I am especially grateful for YOU, for staying with me, and reading my blog.

Happy crocheting,
Love all of your patterns and thank you for all of your hard work even though I know it’s a labor of love
Thank you so much, you are so welcome :)
I had a question about the band.
1. Sc in 2nd ch from hook. Sc 6. Turn. (7 sts)
2. – 61. Work in front loops only. (you can adjust the number of round to fit your head.)
Ch 1.
Sc in same st. Sc 6. Turn. ( 7 sts)
At end of 2. -61….”Sc in same st.”
(as in both loops or FLO?)
In FLO. I don’t count the chain as a stitch, so work your first st in the same st as the chain.
Hi, do you have cardigan patterns?
I don’t, I am sorry!

Thank you so much! So glad you like it, you are very welcome!
I understand this hat is for an adult. But would it fit an adult male? Or would you need to add stitches?
I am not sure! It’s stretchy, so I am sure it wouldn’t be a huge difference. You can just use a larger hook to make it a bit larger, if you feel you need to.
After slip stiitching around the band, how many slip stitches should you have?
I actually sc around the band. I had about 60 sts, the exact number isn’t super important, just in the ballpark is fine.
Hi Bethany. I love the striped hipster slouchy beanie. It’s what ive been looking for! I’m having trouble understanding the first few instructions for the band. You say ” ch 8″ Then 1. Ch 1. I’m confused. Does this mean ch 9 altogether.? Help please. I’d really like to make this lovely beanie. I’m kind of new crocheter as I’ve retired from teaching kindergarten and I want to reacquaint myself with crochet
Oops! There should not be a ch 1 there! Sorry for the mistake!
Hi, Bethany! I am really enjoying your newsletter. Thanks for making it and your patterns available to the public. I have “liked” your Facebook site and have just joined the Whistle & Ivy crochet group. One might say that I’m a big fan of Whistle & Ivy. :-) BTW… what made you choose that name for your site? It makes me smile.
P.S. I plan to use this pattern to make a hat for my granddaughter. She is a teacher by profession and is a volunteer at an animal shelter where she is outside a lot with the animals. I hope the hat will keep her ears warm! :-)
Have a wonderful 2016!
Thanks for liking and following! I do appreciate that you enjoy my patterns. Whistle and Ivy is from an old nursery rhyme about farming, and I grew up on a farm, so it seemed fitting :)
I looked up the nursery rhyme…. so CUTE! Some might like to hear it so I’m posting the link. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yXYLeNEA7vI
I’m like the little girl in the video! :-)
That one is cute! But it’s not the one :) The nursery rhyme where I got my blog title is called “My Father Left Me Three Acres of Land” and “whistle and ivy” is a short lyric from one of the paragraphs.
http://www.rhymes.org.uk/a62-my-father-left-me.htm
I looked it up. Such a cute story and very interesting information about words in the poem. A history lesson! I’m glad I asked my original question . :-)
If I wanted to make this a beanie, what rows would I elimanate?
You would want to eliminate rows in the middle, and keep the top rows that decrease.
Thank you!
This is sized for an adult, correct?
Yes
I don’t see in the pattern where you sew the band together.
oops sorry! Right after you finish it, sl st it into a band at the small ends.
Thanks! That’s what I did. I just figured you’d want to update the pattern. I’ll tag you when I finish! :)
Thank you for letting me know! I added it to the pattern.
Love the diagonal hatch slouchy and aim to make one this week. Thanks for your pattern and happy designing!
Thank you! You are very welcome, I hope you love your hat!
Beautiful work, impressive designs!
Thanks so much Donna!
