I love gathers on a hat, but I didn’t want to design the same old standard gathered hat. Instead, I decided to combine two very different yarns to create a cute hat that is both stylish and warm, with its funky gathers and slouch. What more could a knitter ask for? I must confess that I finished the first hat a while ago and I couldn’t stop wearing it!

Fit Notes: This hat is meant to have a close fitting brim with a slouchy top.
