I have been in love with lion brand’s mandala yarn ever since I started crocheting a couple of years ago and when I found out that they had released the ombre version I was SO excited to try it out! I bought two skeins of it and had many plans for this yarn, but for some reason, I just kept frogging every project I had started and after many attempts, the Snowy Slouch Beanie was born!
update: lion brand has released new colors of mandala ombre! click here to check them out!
The Snowy Slouch Beanie is a great transitional piece that you can wear between fall and winter. You will only need one skein of this yarn, and you can get a couple of hats from it! Isn’t that great? I love one skein projects, and I bet you do too, so let’s get started!
