This slip stitch slightly slouchy hat is a handy way to use a wild multicolored yarn that you might have been struggling with. When paired with a coordinating solid color yarn, the rhythmic pattern works well to break up any awkward pooling and the whole thing comes together like magic, ending with a star motif at the crown! The idea for this hat slipped into my head during a long and sleepless night, and I hope you enjoy knitting it as much as I did.

Preemie (4-5 lbs/2 kgs) or doll - 10” x 5” (25 cm x 12.5 cm)
Newborn - 12” x 5.5” (30 cm x 14 cm)
3-6m - 13.5” x 6” (34 cm x 15 cm)
6-12m - 15” x 6.5” (38 cm x 16.5 cm)
Child/small adult - 16.5” x 7.5” (42 cm x 19 cm)
Medium adult - 18” x 8” (46 cm x 20 cm)
Large adult - 19.5” x 8.5” (49,5 cm x 21,5 cm)
Extra-large adult - 22” x 9” (56 cm x 23 cm)

Length can be easily adjusted, and the hat is quite stretchy. For baby and children’s sizes, this provides a nice bit of growing room. For adult sizes, I recommend going one size down if you prefer a more snug-fitting hat.
