The Damson Slouch Hat pattern is available from Knit Picks for $3.99 as a pdf download.I love relaxed, slouchy hats. This one's easy to knit and fun to wear. The yarn is Knit Picks City Tweed DK. It's warm, soft, and drapey. I love the plum color, which manages to be earthy and bright at the same time.

I usually make a new hat each fall/winter season. Last year, I made a Damson Slouch. Contemplating a new winter hat, but my Damson is still my favorite hat.
Love love this hat. Wonderful pattern!
Thanks so much, anonymous. Love it when one of my designs results in a happy knitter.
