Cog hat

A very simple unisex hat with beanie and slouch options. Alternating bands of pattern stitch and stockinette provide subtle texture and the crown decreases create a neat spoked effect, just like a cog! Knitted with two strands of sock yarn this is designed for stashbusting; use two half skeins or try alternating skeins for great effect in the patterned sections or fit into one single skein. I used Dyeforyarn BFL fingering; two suitable alternatives are listed.
