I’ve heard your call and this is my answer! Dozens of you guys wrote in to request a pattern, and in between the calls for mittens, stockings, berets, toe socks(!) and more big cowls, the overwhelming request was for slouchy beanies.
Oh yeah.
I’m so with you guys on this one. I love me a slouchy beanie. It’s comfy, goes with pretty much anything, and looks super cool and nonchalant. It can elevate a simple outfit of jeans and a tee into something chic and urban. It can give a formal or good-girl outfit an extra edge. Wear it with a pair of aviators and you’re the most badass person in the room.
Yep, a slouchy beanie is pretty much magic. It’s a magic beanie! (Not unlike the one that made Jack climb a beanstalk). So, look out for this bad boy in April-ish! It’s designed in two weights – chunky and worsted – for two different, equally cool looks. Wanna test knit? Let me know in the comments!
Edited April 22: Thank you to all the volunteer test knitters! Emails have been sent out to all y’alls. This means that the call for test knitting is now closed. But no fear! If you’d like to test knit for future pattern releases, keep your eyes on the blog or email me at davina@sheepandstitch.com to be added to the test knitter list.

Liz says
I’d love to test knit this project! I stumbled across your website a few weeks ago and I absolutely love it! I’m also looking forward to the beginner sweater pattern!
Davina says
Hey Liz! Thanks so much! That’s awesome! I’ll email you a copy of the pattern in the next few days. As for the sweater, it’s definitely coming! I’m a stickler about everything being perfect, so there’s some delay checking and re-checking that all the Is are dotted and the Ts crossed before it’s released 😛
