The Promise Kept Slouchie is fun to knit and can be worn in a number of different ways. It’s a full-bodied beanie perfect for tucking in long curls, braids or locks. Or knit the short version.

This hat is knitted in the round from the bottom up on circular needles. The pattern contains written instructions and a Stitch-Map and a traditional chart of the lace pattern with links to suggested cast on techniques.

This a great project for an advanced beginner to explore lace knitting since it uses only one type of increase, one type decrease and every other row is a knitted row.
