A skein of speckled sock yarn called “Graffiti” inspired me to design this lightweight slouchy hat. A simple cable adds texture but isn’t obscured by the hand-dyed yarn. The pattern comes in 5 sizes from Baby to Adult Large with both written and charted instructions. The short-row ribbed brim keeps your ears covered and helps maintain the slouch.
