I was keen to try my hand on puff stitch and it was so easy to crochet more than I think.
I love the texture that came out very pretty and nice. So this zig zag puff stitch slouchy beanie was born. I make this beanie in mix of two colour and basically this slouchy hat made up from a rectangle.
I adapted this slouchy beanie from Brittany Bhookedcrochet on zig zag puff stitch pattern.
All credit of this pattern and photo goes to Brittany of Bhookedcrochet. Love all her tutorial also.
For this Zig Zag Puff Stitch project you can use any size of crochet hook and yarn.
