This pattern in for The Chunky Slouch that I designed. The pattern has photographs on how to the complete the stitches as well as a row by row explanation. This hat is super warm and works up quick!! Also in a trendy style for your picky teen. This hat also uses the Moss Stitch. I would classify this as a beginner/ intermediate level. Pattern in a downloadable PDF. Materials needed:
