This textured, slouchy, and highly giftable hat opens up even more creative possibilities to crocheters for fingering weight sock yarn. Its marriage of delicate star stitches and textured griddle stitch creates a subtle texture and visual interest, and a contrasting-color brim provides a pop of color to finish off the piece. This is the perfect way to transform that sock set skein into a beautiful gift this holiday season!
