The standard version of this pattern features a somewhat tall, slouchy shape crafted in stockinette stitch, enhanced by the inclusion of purl bump stripes. You also have the option to add adorable buttons for an extra touch of flair! For those who prefer a more fitted look, optional variations are included to style the hat in a shorter, non-slouchy format, providing even more options to suit your personal taste.
