A simple, slouchy hat pattern for beginner and advanced knitters! Estelle Yarn’s Alpaca Merino Chunky is a great first-hat yarn because it’s soft, easy to work with, and knits up quickly using 6mm needles. Knit in the round, this hat features an easy k2 p2 rib edge, foldover brim, and simple crown decreases - if you’ve never knit a hat, you’ll find this project very straightforward and easy to follow.
