Free Crochet Pattern – Saturday Night Slouch

Saturday nights used to mean quite a different thing for me a decade ago. Namely live music, dancing, and drinks. Now I generally spend Saturday nights snuggled up on the couch with my husband and little girl, watching a movie and eating popcorn. Certainly a less expensive activity. And then, when they go to bed, I break out my crochet hook and yarn and see what comes out. Sometimes there are still drinks involved though.
