Summer is the perfect time for those projects that are small enough to carry with you and interesting enough to hold your attention out on the porch or at a ball game. This fun hat pattern provides you with both of these aspects while not making you focus too hard on the knitting. The Summer Sorbet Slouch incorporates elongated cables and simple eyelet lace with tuck stitch welts so it sounds very impressive, but none of the patterns are more than 4 stitches and there are plenty of hidden rounds of stockinette tucked throughout as well.

Just like a scoop of your favorite flavor, this slouchy Summer hat will be a treat to make & before you realize it, you’ll be finished & ready for more!

YumiYarns Tutorials page.
* The needle size listed is the needle
size I regularly use, but I am a very
loose knitter so you may need to go up
1-2 needle sizes to get a fabric that
you like.
