This is a super-easy pattern for a comfortable slouch hat. It is suitable for a first-time absolute beginner project.

This project is suitable for absolute beginners as it uses two rectangles even smaller than the average peggy-squares our grandmothers encouraged us to learn as first projects.

Designed by Helen based on Artsenta’s Slouchy Beanie. Mrs Montague was Queen Elizabeth the first’s stocking knitter and this pattern was named after her.

Any weight yarn from stash. I used mostly DK and finer yarns doubled. Mostly it was wool for warmth with some acrylic for color.
