Product Details
This is my standard DK hat, but without the turned over edge (if you want that, add more rows of rib and turn it over) and with more rows in the body and a slower decrease so that it ‘slouches’. Done on slightly larger needles to be softer/looser. It was requested by one of my teenaged students. I love the fact that the decreases for the top spiral in to the middle – it shows more if the colour of the yarn is plain – it just adds a pretty bit of detail. See the variations for ways to use stitch patterns to make these more interesting, but they won’t be quite as fast to finish. Make it with a patterned or mottled or shaded yarn for a fancy-looking gift that was easy to do but is hand-made for your someone who appreciates that kind of thing.
