Simple Slouchy Hat designed by Julie Weisenberger
My daughter wanted the perfect slouchy hat, like these from the Marni runway show a fews seasons back. It is a very simple pattern, but seems to be a success as she hardly takes it off! You can use a chunky yarn or dk weight doubled. A simple pattern calls for luxurious yarn, and this Luster yarn from Verb for Keeping Warm is soft and springy.
