So my hubby has been obsessed with me making slouchy hats for him lately. I've been looking for the perfect slouchy hat pattern and tried a few but wasn't really meeting exactly what I was looking for. I was being lazy and didn't want to work out a pattern for myself but I was inspired by some lovely new yarn I saw at Michaels. It's called
Vanna's Choice Twists. You don't get much in a skein it's only 2.5 oz but the colors are gorgeous. There are 6 fun color twists to choose from. I went with the Twilight that is
Deep charcoal with light grey, dusty blue, purple, and dark mauve multicolor wrap. I bought 2 skeins and had enough to make my hat and a matching one for Calleigh. She was pretty excited & I love this hat.
I hope you enjoy this pattern. It's really simple and I think it has the perfect amount of slouch. If you want super slouchy just add a few more rows of the dc. This hat is perfect for guys and gals. I'll try to get pics of the hubby in his slouch soon ;) I made him one with some awesome Neons from Hobby Lobby's I love this yarn.

Regular Vanna’s Choice solids come with 3 or more ounces so you will only need 1 Skein if you get that. Approx 130 for the Adult.
