Barry Slouch Hat
Introducing our stylish slouchy beanie knitting pattern, designed for comfort and made with a lighter weight yarn. This hat features subtle, eye-catching cables that beautifully cross the single ribbed body, making it a perfect blend of simplicity and elegance.
The slouchy beanie is an easy knit, ideal for both beginner and seasoned knitters. Thick cables add a delightful texture, creating visual interest against the otherwise straightforward 1 by 1 ribbing. You'll love how this hat not only looks great but is also incredibly cozy to wear.
This knitting pattern offers sizes for everyone: Small (S), Medium (M), and Large (L), making it suitable for adults. The hat is designed to fit head circumferences of 20 (S), 22 (M), and 24 (L) inches/51 (S), 56 (M), and 61 (L) centimeters, and it can comfortably stretch to accommodate head sizes 2 inches/5 centimeters smaller or larger. The total height of the beanie is 10 inches/25.5 centimeters, making it the perfect accessory for chilly weather.
For this project, you will need just one skein of Cascade Yarns ReVerb, which offers 273 yards/250 meters per skein, weighing 100 grams/3.5 ounces, and made of a luxurious blend of 70% polyester and 30% alpaca. We recommend using color #04 Jet for a classic, timeless look.
To knit this beanie, gather your materials: US 6 (4mm) 16-inch/40cm circular needles and double point needles, or any size needed to achieve the correct gauge. You may also want US 5 (3.75mm) 16-inch/40cm circular needles for the band and a cable or spare needle, along with one stitch marker to keep track of your rounds.
The gauge to aim for is 22 stitches = 4 inches/10 centimeters in stockinette and 32 stitches = 4 inches/10 centimeters in relaxed ribbing. With these measurements, you'll ensure a snug yet comfortable fit for your new favorite slouchy beanie.
