In Stitches Hat

**Stashbuster Project Alert!** Get ready to unleash your creativity with this exciting hat pattern! Choose your favorite neutral main color and let your imagination run wild with the contrast colors from your yarn stash. The possibilities are endless, whether you decide to go for a striking monotone look with just one contrast color or opt for a vibrant mix by using different colors for each ‘stitched’ stripe. This level of customization makes it a fun project for knitters of all skill levels.

This unique hat pattern is available in two stylish styles: a snug beanie and a trendy slouchy version. It's designed to be easy yet highly satisfying, utilizing slipped stitch techniques for the colorwork. The beauty of slipping stitches means you only work with one color per round, making it simpler to follow along without any hassle.

Gauge: Achieve a perfect fit with a gauge of 26 stitches and 35 rounds to 10cm/4” when working in the slipped stitch pattern with your larger needle.

Beanie Height: 19cm/7.5”
Slouchy Height: 23cm/9”

Note: You have the flexibility to lengthen or shorten the hat by simply adding or removing a colorwork section before you start decreasing for the crown. It's important to check your row gauge, as many substitute yarns may knit up with fewer rounds per 10cm/4”, potentially resulting in a longer hat than anticipated. This pattern is fully written and includes a detailed chart for all colorwork sections, ensuring you have everything you need for success.

Whether you're looking to use up your yarn stash or create a personalized gift for someone special, this hat pattern is the perfect knitting project to tackle. Dive into your creative side and make a hat that is uniquely yours!
