Perfect proportions make this ribbed slouchy stand apart.

And it’s an equal-opportunity flatterer, a classic style that looks good on both men and women. The pattern includes adult sizes S, M and L.

It’s worked from the top down in joined rounds.

FINISHED MEASUREMENTS
Circumference at bottom edge:
19 (20, 21) in./48 (51, 53) cm

YARN
These amounts are for wool and acrylic yarns. Some cotton-blend yarns take an additional 20 to 30 yd./18 to 27 m. You’ll also need more yarn for a slouchy that’s longer than 10 in./25 cm.
Worsted Weight or DK Weight yarn
• Approx. 182 (190, 210) yd./
166 (174, 192) m

You’ll need a hook in a size to achieve a gauge of 14 dc = 4 in./10 cm -- I used an H-8 (5 mm) -- and a smaller hook for the ribbing.

This intermediate pattern includes post stitches, and it’s written using U.S. crochet terms.
