Lyrical Knits Oscar the Slouch PDF

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.
