Slouchy Beret

I just finished crochet my first time ever slouchy beret. I used the same yarn that I used for the spiral scarf. I used two hooks, G hook for the ribbing and K hook for the rest.





















The pictues are not the best but the slouchy turn out nice. I have in my wish list to get a mannequin head for better display of my work. If you know where can I get one that is not that expensive please let me know.

Thank you for looking

I used Patons Classic Wool, color is Orchid, and a K Hook. I bought the yarn yesterday at Michaels, it was on sale at $3.99 . I really like how it turn out, it was easy to crochet and it is fun to wear it.

My husband is not a big fan at crochet but he actually likes it. He said that it is different, not just a regular scarf and that it is pretty.
