Oops, I did it again. The Grasshopper - another slouchy hat pattern!

Yes, I totally did it again. I wrote the pattern for another one of those irresistably slouchy, squishy hats that you'll want to knit 20 of and wear all winter long.

Enter: GRASSHOPPER HAT

Ribbed brim + slouchy garter stitch + pretty, pretty decreases = Grasshopper Hat.

Knit one for yourself. Now. It's selfish knitting month, afterall.

Just one skein of Anzula's Cricket and a few hours of luscious, selfish knitting time, and...

Well, you get the point.

Join the party for $5.

Featured FO: butnostephanie's array of slouchy-pom hats

What happens when you combine a simple, slouchy hat pattern with extremely soft alpaca/merino yarn knit on large needles?

Well, if you happened to use my slouchy-pom hat pattern, then you get one of these...

Knit up using cascade eco duo yarn, these hats are warm, floppy and extremely soft and lightweight. Gotta love alpaca!

Butnostephanie has knit up slouchy-pom hats in an array of eco duo colorways. Check out her projects page on ravelry to see them all!

She's done a great job capturing the beauty of the yarn on camera. Thanks for letting me share them, Stephanie!

Finally! The slouchy-pom hat pattern is ready for sale! :) A special thanks to my pal Kasi for being an excellent model for the official photo shoot!

The slouchy-pom pattern is just for the hat. the mitts are a slight modification of the fantabulous pattern, Raspberry Mitts. I'll try to get the details of my modifications up on Ravelry soon.

The slouchy-pom hat takes one skein of Cascade Eco Duo, a beautifully soft and fluffy alpaca yarn. It sheds a bit, but creates a superbly interesting fabric.

Such a simple hat pattern can be modified in several ways - fair isle, stripes, embellishments like embroidery or buttons. The possibilities are endless! It's always my hope that people will take what I've created and make it their own. This is one of the best parts of knitting!

Customize your slouchy-pom hats! I can't wait to see the different versions people create.
