Lyrical Knits Oscar the Slouch is a women’s knitting pattern for a
lovely hat that is worked flat with short rows and features a faux cable that
is easy to work. After the short rows are complete, you will join your ribbing
in the round. The body of the hat showcases a lattice cable panel flanked by
bands of stockinette and reverse stockinette stitch that helps the slouchiness
fall perfectly into place. An optional pompom adds to the fun. The cable
pattern is in chart form only.
