Sometimes a stitch pattern will just tell you what it wants to be, as is the case with Slouchy Leaf Hat from Hooked for Life. This one, with alternating columns of leaves and garter stitch, really wanted to be a slouchy hat! Slouchy Leaf Hat is knit in the round from the bottom up, and the decreases for the crown fit neatly into the established pattern. This hat works up quickly for the first chilly fall days.
