Sometimes, all you want is a simple, slouchy hat. Knit up a fun yarn or show off some handspun. This simple pattern with squared decreases is the perfect display for your favorite yarn.

Thanks to the stretchiness of ribbing and stockinette, this hat will fit a wide variety of noggins.

The yarn used for this hat was originally a pooling mess of fingering weight that I chain plied to create a lovely, marled aran weight. You can easily use any aran yarn that’ll give you 4 stitches to the inch or ply your stashed fingering weight yarn with the help of this tutorial, How To Create Marled Yarn with Chain Plying.
