The Iris Garden Hat is my take on a basic ribbed beanie…with a twist! With a simple cable repeat, this beanie is worked from the bottom up and decreased at the crown to created a perfectly textured, slightly slouchy beanie. This pattern is sized for teen-adult.

This is a beginner-advanced beginner level slightly slouchy hat pattern.
