This is a pattern for a slouchy stocking hat that can be worn turned-up or not. You will need a 16 inch circular needle in a size 8 to knit it, as well as a set of dpns in size 8 (and, if you want to make a pom pom, I guess you’ll need scrap cardboard and some time to kill - pom poms are boring, am I right?). All in all, it’s a fun hat.
