Heliodor Hat features garter and slipped stitch stripes, with the garter scrunching up perfectly for a slouchy hat. You can also fold the brim up to wear the hat as a fitted beanie with extra warmth around the ears. DK weight yarn makes for a fast and cozy knit, and works up beautifully in both solid and variegated colors thanks to the slipped stitch sections!

This pattern assumes knowledge of basic cables, increasing, and decreasing. Both charts and written directions are provided for all stitch patterns.
