I started her pattern, Slouchy Beret/Beanie, and really learned the ins and outs of crocheting in the round: how to tell which st to crochet into in the next round after joining, in particular. With her help and her pattern, I was able to crochet DD a simple slouchy that she LURVES!
I made a few mods to the pattern:

- Reverse sc is a little fiddly for me yet, so I crocheted 3 rnds of sc to finish
Please show Too Cute Crochet a little love!! Visit the shop or buy Jocelyn's patterns on Ravelry!
