Discover the beauty of this stunning knitted hat pattern, featuring simple slipped stitch textures that beautifully showcase variegated yarn. The organic softness of this design is perfect for both casual wear and more upscale occasions. The striking crown transitions effortlessly from a cozy slouchy look to a sophisticated, city-chic aesthetic with architectural beauty. My sample is crafted as a fashionable slouchy version, but it can easily be adapted into a snug beanie style to suit your personal preference.

When selecting your size, I recommend choosing a measurement approximately 7-10 cm (3 ½ - 4 in) smaller than your actual head size for a snug fit. Alternatively, for a more relaxed and effortlessly slouchy look—similar to the sample shown—opt for a size that is 3-5 cm (1 ¼ - 2 in) smaller than your actual size. The model demonstrates a stylish fit with 4 cm (1 ¾ in) of negative ease.
