Introducing a stunning tam or a cozy slouchy hat – the choice is yours! This knitting pattern begins with a classic 2x2 ribbing worked in the round. As you progress, intricate leaf motifs bloom from the ribbing, and through carefully placed decreases, all the leaves beautifully converge at the center top of the hat, creating a striking visual effect.

The hat featured in this pattern is crafted using worsted-weight Cascade Rustic, a luxurious wool and linen blend that combines warmth with a unique texture. You will need approximately 180 yards of yarn, which is nearly a full skein, making it a perfect project for your fall and winter knitting endeavors.

Designed to fit adults in medium to large sizes, this slouchy hat will keep you warm and stylish during chilly walks in the crisp autumn air or the depths of winter. Not only is this hat functional, but it also showcases an elegant design that will turn heads.

The pattern includes both charted instructions and detailed round-by-round directions, making it accessible for knitters of various skill levels. Whether you are a seasoned knitter or just starting out, you will find joy in creating this unique piece of headwear.
