I just finished this adorable slouch beanie. I bought the yarn while I was in New York last winter visiting with friends. The pattern is from the Fall 2012 knit simple magazine.
I made it large so that I can fit all my hair under it when I go out in the cold. It is super soft alpaca. I might just leave it on all day. It feels like my head is being snuggled by a well loved blankie.
