The Laine Puff Stitch Slouchy Beanie
It’s time for yet another great beanie pattern!
Today I am sharing with you this super textured, slouchy beanie. It uses a puff stitch and provides lots of character. I really love how the stitches pop in this particular yarn color.
This beanie was originally created in JoAnn’s Big Twist chunky yarn in the color Nugget which has since been discontinued.
The good news is that this pattern works up beautifully with Lion Brand’s new Color Made Easy and the great news is that not only do they have some gorgeous colors, but they also have one similar to this yellow called Tumeric!

I love this pattern and I just purchased Big Twist Chunky a few days ago. I will definitely try this beanie. I love your color.
That’s awesome! I hope you enjoy it!!
Good morning, I am interested in trying this pattern. It has been at least 25 years since I even attempted to crochet so I am more than a bit rusty. You did a nice job of describing the terms that will be used. However, you left out what an HDC is and it’s the first thing you do after you make the chain. See Row #1. Could you please describe how to do and HDC? Thank you
Hello, Beverly!
The HDC stands for half double crochet. It is worked as follows:
YO insert into stitch and draw up a loop. YO draw through all three loops on hook. It’s almost a DC but not quite. It’s basically the stitch between a SC and DC. Let me know if you need more help and I could make a quick stitch video for you!
Hi Jerica!
Does this pattern an adult?
Depending on your head size, it should work out to fit an adult. Thanks for stopping by Cindy!
