Flick

Discover the joy of knitting with our easy Slouchy Hat pattern, designed to be knit in the round for a seamless finish. This stylish hat features a charming rolled edge and a unique brim detail that sets it apart. The Flick hat looks stunning when crafted from a solid yarn with a soft halo, making it a perfect accessory for any wardrobe. Alternatively, you can opt for your favorite sock wool with a moderate amount of variegation for a more dynamic look.

When choosing your yarn, remember that contrasting colors work best to make the brim detail truly pop. While the cable involved in creating this intricate stitch pattern might seem intimidating, it's actually quite manageable! This design utilizes an easy 2-stitch cable, making it a fantastic pattern for those looking to improve their skills or learn how to cable for the first time.

This pattern is designed for an adult female hat size, fitting head circumferences of 22-23 inches. If you can't find 2.5mm needles locally, feel free to use 2.75mm (US2)—as a loose knitter, I often find that a slightly larger needle helps achieve the correct gauge.

For yarn requirements, you'll need the following: Main Colour (Zealana Kauri Fingering in Red): 180-190 meters, and for the Contrasting Colour (Waikiwi in Grey): no less than 4 meters. This combination will lend your hat a beautiful and eye-catching finish.
