This is part two of my snow days’ project: the Snow Day Slouchy Hat.

In the past year, I’ve knit a number of slouchy hats and my pet peeve is that many lack a proper crown. So instead of a slouchy shape, you end up with what looks like a knitted tongue hanging down the back. I really don’t like that look.

So, using the same materials as with the Snow Day Cowl, I made a matching hat to share with you.

Materials: one ball of Rico Design Fashion Luxury Yarn (alpaca/wool/nylon blend) and one ball of Sugarbush Drizzle (mohair/silk). The Rico lists itself as a super bulky yarn, but I personally think that’s a bit of a stretch. If looking to substitute, go with a bulky yarn instead. The Drizzle is a variegated laceweight yarn. The Rico is a matte color so the mohair/silk stands out even though it is much smaller in scale. Keep this in mind when choosing your yarn. Both yarns are held together for the entire project.

Tools: 6 mm circular needle (I used a 16 inch), stitch marker, scissors, tapestry needle, soft tape measure.

Instructions are included for customization.

Please knit a gauge swatch to ensure you get the fit you desire.

This hat knits up quickly and paired with the matching cowl, makes quit the cozy set!
