1 set 5 mm 16" circular needles
1 skein Manos del Uruguay Kettle Dyed Pure wool( 138 yds). I used colour 54.
* this would also work very nicely in Malabrigo, Patons SWS, or Noro Kureyon/silk garden
1 Stitch marker
2 Buttons about 1 inch diameter. I used Mother of pearl shell buttons purchased at Walmart.
* Notes: to (M1) pick up the leg of yarn between sts and knit through the back of the loop
With circular needles, cast on 80 Sts and join to work in the round. Work 8 rows in twisted rib - K2 tbl, P2* to end.
Next round: K8 (m1)* repeat to end of round . 90 sts
Knit 2 rounds plain.
Next round: K9 (m1)* repeat to end of round . 100 sts
Knit 12 rounds.
Next Round: K10 (m1)* repeat to end. 110 sts
Knit 6 rounds plain
Begin Decreases
K10, K2 tog* repeat to last 2 sts K2
Knit 2 rounds
K9 K2tog* to last 2 sts, K2
Knit 6 rounds
K8 K2tog * to last 2 sts, K2
Knit 2 rounds plain
K7 K2 tog* to last 2 sts, K2
Knit 2 rounds plain.
K6 K2tog* to last 2 st K2
Knit 1 row
K5 K2tog* to last 2 sts
Knit 1 row
Continue in this manner, knitting one less stitch between K2tog decreases with 1 plain round between decrease rows until 16 sts remain, cut yarn and thread through remaining sts,
pull tightly and fasten off on the inside of hat.
If you wish you can block the hat into the shape you prefer.
Sew 2 buttons where you like them, and Voila!! a cute slouchy hat in a day.
Hopefully this works out! I've been trying all day to offer up this free pattern, bud Adobe hates me! So Here it is! Enjoy.
This hat was inspired by the dozens of single skeins of Manos del Uruguay I had lying around in my stash.
This hat takes less than 1 skein and fits nicely over the ears so it will actually keep you warm.
Living in Northern Ontario, warmth is a necessity when the temperature drops to -45 c.

Thanks for posting the pattern! I'm working on this right now!
Hey I love this hat and the pattern is so easy!!! I am working on it right now and I love it! I am making is in a great Noro Kueryon and I only have one skein and I was wondering if that 110 is all it takes?
can you tell me please...should there be a plain knit row in between the decrease rows all the way to the last 16 stitches? thanks..
I've updated the decrease instructions for the last few rows to hopefully make the pattern a little more clear. Thanks for your patience!
