Pigwidgeon Hat
After completing my Pigwidgeon Sweater, I was inspired to create a matching hat featuring the same delightful motif. I envisioned a slouchy hat with subtle variations from the sweater design, resulting in the charming Pigwidgeon Hat. This unique pattern is not only perfect on its own but is also included in an ebook alongside the Pigwidgeon Mitts, making it a great addition to your knitting collection!

Circumference: 15.5 [18.5, 21.5] inches.

Gauge (after washing and blocking)
26 stitches and 34 rows over a 4-inch square. Achieving this gauge is crucial for the perfect fit and look of your Pigwidgeon Hat, so be sure to check your tension!
Materials Needed
For this project, you'll need Sunshine Yarns Classic Sock, which is a luxurious blend made of 100% Superwash Merino. Each skein contains 370 yards in 100 grams (3.53 oz).
