This slouchy hat is perfect for all of those special people in your life! The wide K3P2 rib creates that perfect “ear warmer” feeling, while the ribbed slouchy pattern has just a few eyelets “Peeking Through” on the purl rows. Samples have not been agressively blocked to feature the ribbed nature of this design. To emphasize the eyelet aspect, the body could be agressively blocked to open up those eyelets.

The body pattern consists of an easy to memorize 12 stitch/20 row pattern which is both written and charted to accommodate a variety of knitting styles.

While the pattern calls for short circulars and dpn, this design could also be easily worked using magic loop or 2 circulars.

Samples were made from a variety of DK weight yarns to show the design versatility. You probably have enough yarn in your stash to easily make at least one of these sizes!
