I really like this aqua ridge slouch hat. Aqua is one of my favorite colors and I really like the pom pom at the top. This particular hat is made from the top to the brim. Not all hats are made that way and with each pattern I notice I like from crown to brim more. I am still not a fan of color change so I will probably opt for a single color or use a gradient / ombre yarn. Thanks for sharing the pattern.

Its time. I can feel the chill in the air. Soon I will be wishing I had one or something similar to these to keep my head ward. I like this slouchy look because I feel like my head can breath. I have this thing about things tight about my head. I would probably only make a single change. I would make this in a single color instead of using two colors.

I really like how the vertical cables contrast with the colored stripes on this hat. The minimalist cables are actually just a couple of Front Post DCs, so theyre not tricky to work up at all. I do think I would go with a fuller pom than the examplelooks kind of skimpy to me. I have that exact Clover pom maker, and I dont think she used enough yarn.

So fresh for a white winter day! The aqua is stunning. And you'll have to be comfortable with your front post double crochets for this one -) But there are TONS of tutorials that can be found on YouTube in case you need a refresher. I would add more loft to my pom. I'd even suggest trying a faux fur one for an extra trendy touch. I appreciate the entire pattern accessible right here on this page, too.

The colors, striped design, and pom pom all combine to make this the perfect winter hat. I especially like how the aqua color is bright, but the gray color makes it work for the cooler months.
