This hat is made to complement my Melrose cowl, and you have two design options. A beanie version for a more fitted hat and a slouchy one to fit looser. In both options, you have a sufficient amount of leftover yarn, so the choice to add a pom pom or not is all up to you.

The beanie is an ultra cozy version that features Sunday Morning DK and Haze, a silk and suri alpaca blend. The slouchy is 100% Sunday Morning DK.

Note that the suri is held double throughout the pattern.

This design is all about fun. Enjoy :)
