Minnesota Yarn Shop Hop 2014: Pine Forest Slouchy Hat Knitting Pattern

Introducing the Pine Forest Slouchy Hat, a beautifully crafted knitting pattern designed specifically for the 2014 Minnesota Yarn Shop Hop, embracing the whimsical theme of Paul Bunyan and his trusty companion, Babe the Blue Ox. This hat features an elegant slouchy silhouette, reminiscent of lush pine trees, making it a perfect accessory to keep you warm during the chilly Minnesota winters.

For those looking to add a little extra flair, the hat’s slouchiness can easily be enhanced by repeating the stunning lace pattern before beginning the decreases at the crown of the hat. This versatility allows knitters of all skill levels to customize their hat to achieve their desired look and fit.

Finished Size: Approximately 18" circumference at the brim, accommodating various head sizes for a comfortable wear.

Gauge: 23 stitches over 4 inches in the specified lace pattern, measured after blocking to ensure the perfect drape and fit.

Materials Needed: You will need Hazel Knits Lively DK yarn (the photographed colorway is Chambray) or any other high-quality DK weight yarn, totaling at least 175 yards. Choose your favorite color to showcase your personal style while enjoying this delightful project.

Let the Pine Forest Slouchy Hat be your next favorite knitting project and embrace the spirit of the Minnesota Yarn Shop Hop! This pattern not only offers a creative outlet but also results in a cozy, stylish accessory that you can wear with pride. Happy knitting!
