free pattern

I want to give you the Free Pattern of Crochet Slouchy Hat as a present for being always supporting me. I designed this hat with all my love and care because I wanted to give it a s a present to you. I’ve always thought that caps and hats didn’t fit me. But I like them and I have always wantedto wear them in winter. I have been inspired by those hats that are slouchy and that are made with two needles. I decided to make a hat that looked like it was knitted and would make all face types look good, even long ones like mine. I really liked the result, it makes me look good and comfortable while being warm. It is very easy to make as you use Chunky yarn and will fit you . You also have video tutorials for stitches and special techniques and even a diagram. If you want the pattern in PDF you have it in my Ravelry store for a very economic price. I will appretiate your support to my project if you buy it. Thank you!
