There’s something so lovely about the rain. The gentle sound of an evening shower is the most comforting sound while you’re safe and warm indoors. This hat was inspired by the delicate, meandering tracks the rain paints across a window as it falls. It’s also the perfect project to curl up on the couch with as you wait for the rain shower to pass. A simple but dramatic stitch pattern that’s so easy to memorize and uncomplicated decreases result in the perfect casual, slouchy hat that will be finished by the time the sun comes out again.
