The Nicholas Slouch is a cozy hat that combines the traditional Norwegian star pattern with a series of zig-zag stripes. Featuring two color ribbing and bold pattering, this slouchy hat is a project that will keep you engaged from start to finish, making it a great addition to your winter wardrobe or a thoughtful gift for a loved one. The original beanie version of this pattern was featured in Ply Magazine and has been updated here to the more relaxed fit in two sizes.

Each hat requires about 90 (110) yards each of two colors. If making this project using 2 balls of Highland Lux by HiKoo, you should have enough material to create two hats.
