EVERYONE DESERVES A MODERN HAT
And what could be more modern than a slouch hat?! This unisex, urban winter hat has it all. It is a simple knit for beginners who are a bit more adventurous and want to try easy textured stitch patterns using the foundation stitches of knitting (knits and purls) for a more decorative look. This hat comes in sizes from baby to adult, so it has got your family’s ears covered no matter what stage you are at.

A helpful note from our design team about our patterns…

Each TLA Exclusive pattern includes the names and written instructions for all the pattern stitches used.
At TLA, we strive to help foster competent and confident knitters. We hope that this added detail will
inspire imagination, encourage knitters to create their own unique designs, and expand their stitch
library.

Also, to make finding your perfect needle size and yarn as easy as can be, every TLA Exclusive pattern
lists the yarn gauge for the yarn used in the instructions (the tension and weight of the yarn itself –
usually found on the yarn label) as well as the pattern gauge (the designer’s tension when working that
specific knitting pattern). We hope that this will serve as a great reference for knitters and help to
ensure the quality of their work, because quality work comes from quality patterns.

Happy Knitting!
