This slouchy hat is knit in the round. It starts with a two by two ribbing in the brim and a chevron lace pattern. Crown is knit in seed stitch. It can be modified to only 7 patterns repeats instead of the written 8, to have a less slouchy version. Any fingering weight yarn will work to knit the hat.
I wanted to create a hat to be worn on cooler days to go with my jeans jacket. Hope you enjoy it! Have fun :)
