This quick and easy slouchy crochet zig zag beanie may look complicated but it’s actually very simple once you have mastered how to complete the V Stitch.

(Don’t be scared if you’re a beginner, it’s only a clever combination of double crochet stitches).

I designed it to work with both chunky and bulky yarns as they give such a lovely texture to the stitches.

​I made mine in cotton which means it’s popular for summer too (it never gets too warm in North West England!)

Crocheted in the round from a magic circle it is worked top down so it can be adapted to any size from a cosy beanie or add more rows to create a more slouchy hipster look.
