This slouchy hat design combines a branching, organic brioche pattern on the front, with a garter stitch fabric knitted in alternating colours. “The crown shaping is worked within the garter stitch and cleverly within the brioche work,” explains Sandra. The hat is designed to have around one inch of negative ease for a slouchy fit. It uses Rowan’s cosy wool-alpaca Moordale yarn, which comes in 18 warm shades.
