Slouchy Eyelet Hat Pattern

The Slouchy Eyelet Hat Pattern is now available for purchase.

This pattern is written to combine 2 yarns - a worsted weight base, and a lace weight mohair/silk blend.

The worsted weight wool base yarn creates a nice, lightweight hat with a bit of slouchy. The mohair/silk yarn gives the hat a subtle halo and sheen, creating a luxurious fabric that will definitely keep your noggin’ warm!

Yarns (one strand of each is held when knitting the hat)
Approximately 180 yards of worsted weight yarn (Malabrigo Merino Worsted pictured)
Approximately 180 yards of lace weight mohair/silk blend (Rowan Kidsilk Haze - pink hat; Stacy Charles Luna - gray hat)

Other Materials
US 9, 16” circular needles
US 10.5, 16” circular and double pointed needles
Stitch marker
Tapestry Needle

The examples shown illustrate pairings that shade or highlight one another. Another option is to knit the hat using contrasting colors - the possibilities are endless!

You can purchase it as a single pattern for $5.00
