Checkerboard Slouch Hat

By Tracy Zhang

This pattern knits a wonderfully thick and warm slouch beret type hat.. Instructions come complete with description of how to knit the beret point!

This hat has been created in a regular size as a larger size, in order to accommodate someone with long or otherwise voluminous hair who wishes to place it inside the hat. As a result of increased sizing the band stretches well, but still grips.

Things to know about this pattern:

Skill level: Advanced beginner. This hat requires extremely basic knitting skills. The only complicated factors relate to slipping and picking up stitches. There is also a three needle bind-off needed at the end.

Size: Fits to hat size 22" (larger size fits to 23")

Supplies Required:

Size 10 needles (can be straight and/or 16 inch circular) or one set Size 10 DPN

Size 10 or 11 short needle or DPN to help in 3 needle bind off and final hat band bind off

Place marker

Tapestry Needle

One skein of Super Saver Red Heart Yarn is enough to complete this hat.
