Blocking the Hearts: 
If your Hearts are not laying as flat as you would
 like, you can block them. Pin them to a blocking board, 
spray with a little water and let them dry.

If you want to hang them up, Mix a 50% School Glue
 and 50% water, to stiffen them up.


If you do not have a blocking board, 
card board with a towel over it will work also.

Beaded Slouchy Hat Crochet Pattern | Posh Pooch Designs

 Beaded Slouchy Hat 
Crochet Pattern
By Sara Sach of Posh Pooch Designs


I designed The Beaded Slouchy Beanie Over 7 years ago,
And decided we need to make a video to go with
 the Crochet Pattern.
 It is still one of my favorite beanies to wear and
 to stitch up.


The original Beanie was designed using Michael's Impeccable
 yarn in black with silver pony beads.
It's a stretchy beanie that is very comfortable to wear, 
and the beads give it a touch of class and fun. 
It is perfect for the guys and the girls.



It can be worn as a slouchy Hat or 
rolled up as a regular beanie




I chose to update the crochet Pattern with Michael's
  Craftsmart yarn, in the Blue Ambre Colorway. 
I used silver and blue small pony beads. I really 
love how the updated pattern worked out.
