I love to design hats. They are pretty easy and quick to make and are fun to wear. I enjoy mixing my “hat wearing” up. I have beanies, slouchies, cloche hats, etc. I wear the hats according to my mood or outfit that day.

I designed this hat to do double duty. You can just knit the beanie if you
prefer that style of hat. You could also knit the slouchy version. Both hats are comfortable and easy to wear. You can use wool or acrylic, totally up to you.

The pattern stitch is a fairly simple, easily memorized pattern repeat. The hat is knit in the round using small circular needle and double pointed needles. If you prefer to knit only on dpn’s…that works too.

Feel free to use whatever worsted weight yarn you want or have
on hand. I created this hat to use up random one skeins in the
stash that you have no idea what to do with. I have a lot of one-skeiners from leftover projects.

Make the beanie, the slouchy version or both. Make as many as you’d like.
