Child’s Slouchie Beanie Crochet Pattern

Have you been joining us for #projectcrochet?!  My favorite projects to crochet are ones that I make for my kids.  They are always so grateful and excited when they receive a new accessory from Mom.  This slouchie pattern is beyond adorable too… I think that I should make one for all of the children in my life.  Seriously cute and quick to make!
