Note: The original hat is pictured in Valentina (pink). The slouchy version is shown in Melon (peach). To knit the slouchy version of this hat, simply work one additional full pattern repeat as written in the pattern before working the crown decreases. This modification can be completed with the one skein of yarn called for in the pattern.

Winter Hat Series: Three

Pixelated is a bohemian-inspired hat featuring a wide brim and just the right amount of texture and slouch. With an intuitive-to-knit body, this hat is great for beginners and advanced makers alike. Match your pom pom and yarn color for a monochromatic effect!

Notes:

• This hat is cast on at the brim. Decreases are made toward the top and the final stitches are cinched together with remaining yarn.
• If you want your hat slouchier, knit one additional pattern repeat. This can be accomplished with one skein. Any modifications beyond this may require an extra skein of yarn.
• I am a loose knitter. If you tend to knit tightly, consider using larger needles.
