This slouchy hat is stylish and fun to knit. The slip stitch pattern works nicely with handpainted yarn, as it helps minimize pooling. Try it in a solid color to see the pattern pop or maybe a self-striping yarn. A great gift pattern as it’s easy to whip up.

Finished height 9.5 (10, 10.5) inches
Note: Hat has stretch for flexible fit.
