I've been mulling over slouchy hat patterns for a long time. It's so hard to predict what will fit, feel right and look ok. I finally settled on the
Slouchy Beehive Hat pattern I discovered on Ravelry. Just had to wait for a break in the weather so I could get some yarn. At long last, I finally made a hat that basically fits. It's a touch big, but it's supposed to be. And I hate the vise-like grip my previous hats held on my head so I don't mind a loose fit. Started on Super-Bowl Sunday following a quick afternoon excursion to the new Joann's. Finished on Wednesday evening. And not much time spent on Tuesday evening at all. I needed chunky/bulky yarn and there wasn't a big selection, but this Wool-ease chunky in Willow turned out to be a good choice.
Not much sun, so the photos aren't so great. And I'm pretty weak in the selfie skills. But I think you'll get the idea. I have to go out in the cold tomorrow morning, so I'll debut it then.
A tribute to "Blurred Lines". I'm not much for showing my face on the interwebs.
Your hat turned out great! I love slouchy hats and yours is adorable! I agree about the banding being too tight and much prefer a slightly loose fit as long as it doesn't fall in my eyes.
