Pattern Notes
To create a slouchy style hat, add more brim row repeats. To make larger or smaller sizes for the hat, add or remove multiples of 4 stitches in the rib section. Making adjustments to the size and fit of the hat will result in a change in yardage, keep this in mind when purchasing yarn or stash diving. Cowl can be made with a button band, seamed, or grafted using a provisional cast on. Your cast on should be based on the version you would like to make; Cable Cast On for Version 1 and Version 2 Seamed, Provisional Cast On (I prefer the Crocheted Provisional) for Version 2 Grafted.
