When I was a child I always wanted asymmetrical things. I remember my mother explaining to me that one braid and one ponytail was not what people do; she may have been right, but I made this hat slightly asymmetrical anyway.
Difficulty: Easy
Size: M[L] (shown in size L)
Finished measurements: 20 inches (50cm) [24 inches (61cm)] slightly stretched
Materials: 122 yards [112m] Bouclé yarn
Note: I used 2 skeins of Emu Florentine [51% Wool, 44% Acrylic, 5% Nylon]; 61 yards [56 m] per skein. The ribs may show much more if knit with a different yarn.
1 set US #9/5.5mm straight needles
Gauge: 12 sts / 14 rows to 4 inches [10cm]

Hello, I’m using your pattern for the Slouch Hat as my first short row shaping project. I understand the concept, I’ve checked out online tutorials, so feel okay there. My question is about the stitch pattern itself- is the body of the pattern k2, p2 throughout or K on RS and P on WS? Hard to tell from the pic from the yarn used (boucle). Thanks much, Heather

Hello Heather,
The pattern I used for the slouch hat uses the k2, p2 pattern for the whole hat to the crown decreases.
Thank you for knitting my pattern!
