Mercury Hat

I love a slouchy hat, slightly oversized, that generously covers my ears, especially if the brim is deep and worked in thick, spongy garter stitch. It's guaranteed to provide extra warmth and is extra pretty when paired with a simple flowing lace motif of V’s and eyelets etched with garter stitch. Soft, worsted weight yarn makes the Mercury Hat the perfect last minute gift; it knits up in no time. If you have an extra minute, make the matching mittens, too!
