The idea for this hat came about as I was leaving work one day and saw a young woman walking ahead of me. She was wearing a spectacular slouchy hat. I must admit that I followed her for as long as I possibly could to capture every detail. Her hat featured an entirely different texture, but the shaping by gathering was what most intrigued me. I went straight home and found a drapey worsted weight yarn and put together a simple lace pattern with reverse stockinette tucks. I added graduated tiers of lace and tucks, topped with a fun pompom. Wear the gathers to the back or side. The pattern comes in a full size range from Baby to Adult Large. The hat can be finished in no time and makes a gorgeous accessory to give away or keep for yourself.
