#MulberrySlouch #StefanieBoldDesign

Update 01. May 2021: This pattern is now also available as single download in english and german language!

The unique Mulberry Slouch is constructed differently from most hats: Rather than decreasing at the crown, the top is closed with a line of double decreases and the corners are sewn together. The two-color slip-stitch pattern creates the pops of color with the Merino wool yarn.
