The Twist slouchy hat, knit in Aran weight yarn, features a herringbone brim paired with a fun and easy to remember slip stitch design pattern for the body of the hat. This hat is intended to be a bit of a slouchy, relaxed fit, yet still very warm due to the nature of the slip stitch pattern and the extra thickness of the herringbone stitch.
The Twist Slouchy hat is part of a herringbone accessory collection including the Fireheart cowl.

Note
When knitting herringbone, it is recommended to use a needle size larger than might be typical for a particular yarn weight. I do not recommend going down a needle size from the suggested unless you knit herringbone very loosely.
