I find that hats are like potato chips, and it’s hard to stop after just one - so 2 Glasses of Pink Zin is for those of you who want another after finishing the first. Both are delicate and feminine, as that’s what the pink was begging for :)

The first glass is a cozy cabled hat. It can be worn deep with a little slouch, or you can fold the brim back and wear it like a traditional cap. The cables are intricate and varied, and the crown is fun to work - as the other cables all decrease into the twisted ribs.

The second glass uses the slipped stitch motif I was playing with in my Silver Gin Fizz. This time it’s worked sparingly, in offset ribs. This hat has a delicate brim and a slouchy fit, with a cool detail in the crown when that last slipped stitch disappears.

Each hat, knit as shown uses 175 yds of DK weight yarn.
