I call this the “Perfect” hat because it’s perfect for people of all genders, and using any worsted or light bulky yarn (#4/#5).

It can be made slouchy or beanie-style, and you can add a pompom or a tassel if you like. It’s got texture for days, and the edging tightens the ribbing just enough. I swear, lol, it’s perfect!

I’ve gotta say, my testers are awesome. One of them even made one identical to one of mine! So yes, the two turquoise hats are indeed two different hats made with this pattern.

And… there will be a pattern for a matching pair of fingerless mitts coming soon.
