Nice hat and works up well in Brooklyn Tweed Shelter, even though it is a stiffer more rustic yarn choice at this gauge.

The pattern as written it is a very long and voluminous slouch so I modified it by working only 13 repeats of the 3-line texture pattern, ending on Row 1 of the texture pattern/Row 2 of the cable pattern, and working the decrease instructions from there.

Added a “Wolf medium” faux fur pompom from Simply Socks Yarn Co. which has an excellent selection of sizes and colors.
