The genesis of this hat pattern is pretty straightforward: I had yarn leftover from the Crossed Furrows Cowl. Except that it wasn’t just one hat that I designed. A two-colour version also sprang into being. Then a tester wondered about turning it into a slouchy hat and suddenly two hats became four!
The colour work is simple: you use only one colour per round and let slipped stitches do the work for you.
