Trinity Slouch Beanie – Free Crochet Pattern

This past month and a half has been crazy to say the least. I know I haven’t posted in a while, but I’m not going to explain why here. It would be WAY too long and deserves it’s own separate post. Today we’re going to talk about the Trinity Slouchy Beanie and why I’ve decided after a year of being a paid pattern, it deserves to be set free.

The Hurricane

If you’re on my email list, you know that my family and my community was severely impacted by Hurricane Michael. Our home was destroyed along with many others, leaving us living in a hotel for over a month. Because we are a military family, we got off easy. The Air Force has done such an amazing job taking care of us and we couldn’t be more grateful. Unfortunately, there are many people who aren’t that lucky.

While the hurricane is happening, it’s pretty much national news. Everyone waits and watches while it happens. Then the news shows the immediate destruction when it’s all over. What the news doesn’t show is how communities are affected long term and a lot of people forget about the hundreds of thousands of people who are still being affected. From now until December 10th, 2018, 100% of my pattern sales will be donated directly to this cause.

Because of Hurricane Michael, there are still so many people without homes. Read more about Tent City and Operation Warm Up Panama City here.

  1. How could I make this into a child and/or adult pattern. Unfortunately don’t have a baby to make one for & would love one for myself and another charity that I crochet for. Referring to the Trinity slog h beanie.

    1. Hi Joyce!

      This hat would fit the average woman that has a head circumference of 21”. I apologize that I did not include resizing instructions. I will add them as soon as I get the chance!

  2. I am struggling with the Beanie, every time I start is my stitch is clumped together and not fanned out and pretty. I have the stitches lined uo line in the first picture but I do not know what I am doing wrong. I’ve tried losening my row of 60 stitches but that isnt helping. Can you help me?

    1. Hi Katie,

      I’m so sorry you’re struggling with the pattern. Are you making your trinity stitches all in the same stitch or in 3 consecutive stitches? If you can, you can send me an email at [email protected] with a photo of your work and I can try my best to help!
