The Lazlo Slouch is the companion to the Lazlo Beanie. Both hat patterns and the cowl are available as an eBook for $8. You can also use the code lazlolove for a $3 discount when you add both hat patterns to your cart. If you have already bought one of the Lazlo hat patterns the $3 discount will be applied to your second hat pattern, so you get the second pattern for just $2.50.

Regarding Yarn Choice
The recommended yarn for this hat is Wollmeise DK, which is a high ply, high twist yarn that works up closer to sport weight. Standard 3-4 ply superwash merino DK works up much heavier than the yarns I recommend, so if you choose this you may need to knit a size down. Please feel free to come over to the Lazlo Support and FO Thread if you have any questions or would like help picking the perfect yarn for your Lazlo.
