This pattern is part of the Slouches Collection.

Silk Cloud and Pebble work together and alone to create the shifting textures of Slouch 1. Purl ridges accentuate Silk Cloud’s lustre, their concentric circles decreasing to a single dot. Short rows subtly enhance the hat’s slouch. Pattern includes illustrated tutorials for German Short Rows and a tubular cast on. Slouch 1 is worked in the round from brim to crown using knit, purl, and 2- or 3-stitch decreases. The pattern instructions are written only.
