A cute slouchy hat that knits up quickly in a bulky yarn. Featuring just enough lace detailing to keep things interesting, without requiring too much attention.

The hat begins at the top with a simple I-cord and is then joined in the round, increasing with columns of spiralling yarn overs. All of the shaping is worked at the centre back, perfectly gathering the extra slouchy fabric.

Notes

This pattern is a pdf file, which you will be able to download once your payment is complete. All payments are processed by paypal but if you don’t have a paypal account you can use your credit card to make a payment without needing to set one up. If you use a paypal account without funds in it that is not associated with a credit card paypal will process your payment with an echeque, which means there is a delay of several days while the payment is transferred from your bank account. I don’t mind accepting this type of payment, but please be aware that you can avoid the delay by paying with a credit card.
