This knitting pattern features a beautifully designed hat that combines functionality with style. I personally adore a deep ribbing on my hats, but often find myself folding it back at the nape of my neck to achieve the perfect slouch. In this unique design, I've incorporated short rows into the ribbing to create a hat that slouches exactly as I envision—no adjustments needed!

Enhancing the visual appeal, this pattern also includes a bit of simple colorwork to add an extra layer of interest. My chosen colorway features a rich blue called Pacific Sailor, complemented by a vibrant accent color, Tree Fort. This delightful combination is knit up in gorgeous organic merino yarn sourced from A Verb For Keeping Warm. Not only is it a quick and satisfying project, but it also works up in no time, making it ideal for both beginner and experienced knitters.

This hat design is perfect for those chilly days ahead, and it’s a lovely excuse to try some of the beautiful Pioneer yarn. Plus, this project is portable and convenient, so you can easily take it along for knitting on the go during these last warm days of summer.

The finished hat comfortably fits a head size of 20-22 inches / 51-56 cm, ensuring a cozy, snug fit for a wide range of knitters. For those looking to explore alternatives, a suggested substitute yarn is listed below to keep your knitting options versatile.
