This slouchy, comfy hat is perfect for fall, spring, and everything in between. It’s a simple design that’s great for a beginner, but the I-cord on top creates a fun challenge. Many thanks to the great Elizabeth Zimmerman for inventing this versatile cord that got its name because, in her words, “It’s so simple even an idiot could do!”
