Noro Slouchy Beanie
What Is Being Made
The Noro Slouchy Beanie is a relaxed, comfortable hat designed for adult women. This downloadable knitting pattern creates a slouchy-style beanie with a finished brim circumference of 18 inches (45.5cm) when unstretched and a total length of 10½ inches (26.5cm). The slouchy silhouette provides a casual, contemporary look that drapes softly on the head.
Techniques Used
This beanie is constructed using seamless, in-the-round knitting, which eliminates the need for seaming and creates a smooth, continuous fabric. The pattern is rated as Easy, making it suitable for knitters with basic to intermediate skills. Working in the round ensures a professional finish and allows for consistent stitch definition throughout the hat.
Stitches Used
The Noro Slouchy Beanie features several fundamental knitting stitches and techniques:
- Slip Rib – The primary stitch pattern used to create the fabric, worked over a gauge of 20 stitches and 32 rounds per 4 inches (10cm)
- Knit and purl stitches – Basic stitches that form the foundation of the slip rib pattern
- Yarn over – Used to create new stitches and add texture or shaping as needed
- Slip, slip, knit (SSK) – A left-leaning decrease technique for shaping the crown
- Selvage stitch – An edge stitch that facilitates seaming, though minimal seaming is required in this seamless design
- Pick up and knit – Used to add new stitches along edges when transitioning between sections
Materials
The Noro Slouchy Beanie requires minimal materials, making it an efficient project:
- Yarn: 1 skein (100g) of Noro Kureopatora in colorway #1019
- Needles: One US 7 (4.5mm) circular needle, 16 inches (40cm) long, or size needed to obtain gauge
- Additional notions: One set of four US 7 (4.5mm) double-pointed needles (for working the crown decreases when the circumference becomes too small for the circular needle) and one stitch marker to track round beginnings
The pattern emphasizes the importance of checking gauge before beginning, as achieving the correct gauge of 20 stitches and 32 rounds over 4 inches (10cm) using the specified needle size ensures the finished hat will meet the intended measurements and drape properly.
