Knitty Gritty Slouch

I love the look of textured knits and oversized beanies. This hat is the best of both worlds! The brim is knit in a tight rib on smaller needles, then relaxes into a larger sized body. With a simple 2 row repeat, you may wish to add less or more length than the recommended height. Paired decreases allow the textured pattern to remain throughout the crown and give it a looser squared shape. Two sizes, adult and child are included in the pattern.
