GENERAL INFORMATION:
The hat is a simple project worked in the round using mainly knit stitch. The occasional purl rows and slipped stitches keep your attention and allows the textured design to emerge. You can make your hat slouchier by working some additional rounds just before you start the hat decreases. This will increase yarn requirements.
A quick knit ideal for gifting, and there’s a matching cowl too!!

MATERIALS:
Recommended Yarn:**
Malabrigo Arroyo. DK / Sport weight yarn, 100% superwash merino, 306 m / 335 yds / 100g.
Shown in colourways Diana and Sand Bank.

Yarn Choice: When choosing your colours, it is important to have a good contrast (light vs dark, or completely different colours). The pattern is best suited to solid or semi solid colours. Resist the temptation to buy two yarns that complement each other because they share colours in common as the pattern will be quickly lost. Likewise, if you want to use a variegated yarn, make it a bold one, and the other skein a vastly different solid neutral shade.
