Simple Chunky Knit Wool Hat
"I had one skein left of this amazing Wool and the Gang Crazy Sexy Wool and figured what better way to put it to use than to make a perfectly slouchy hat. Hats are one of my favorite things to knit. This is the perfect beginner hat if you’re just starting to knit in the round. It’s simple, knits up quickly and has the most amazing fit. It has just enough ribbing to help it fit snug enough on most heads and it’s just long enough for the perfect slouch. "
NotesThis hat is knit in the round from the bottom up. It could also be knit flat and seamed.
