This pattern was inspired by some discontinued bulky alpaca yarn, but can be done in a any bulky yarn or with two strands of worsted weight yarn held together.
I wanted a hat with a cluster stitch worked top-down, and wasn’t finding anything!

There are two brim options.
Some pictures are included in the pattern to help with brim options #2.

This was made for my step daughter who wanted some slouch in the hat.

Add a faux fur or yarn pom to finish!
