Bywater features delicate lines that showcase the various shades of blue in this beautiful Nice and Knit DK yarn. A deep ribbing and a slipped stitch edge create a cool transition from brim to cables, and these cables are fun to work. There’s something addictive about seeing where the next cross is going to take you.

The slouchy shape can be worn either long and loose, as seen here, or you can fold your brim back for a more fitted hat. Details on other modification options are in the pattern.

Bywater was designed as part of the Stash and Burn September Hat KAL, and the cocktail name was picked as part of a Ravelry contest, by moogleknits. A package with yarn and treats is on the way to her now -- the drink she picked is a special cocktail from New Orleans made with with Rum and Chartreuse, and it seemed to fit this hat pretty perfectly. So thank you!

Also part of the Stash and Burn KAL, this and a number of my other hats are 30% off until Sept 28 with the code SnB4. Details are in the Stash and Burn Ravelry group
