Often times do I come across Sock yarn that I find just too wonderful to put on my feet.
After much searching online for a hat pattern that I found suiting for my treasure I decided that I would just write my own pattern. I feel like it was quite successful and thought that this would be a hat suitable to wear during the summer time even. There are some days when you just want a somewhat stylish way to protect your head! And I personally am a fan of slouch hats/berets so how perfect would it be that I write a pattern for such a style.
For my knitting friends... I shall share it with you! :)
.
Summer Sock Slouch:
.
Needles: Size 5us, 16" circulars and 5us DPN's
Yarn: estimated 180 yards of sock weight yarn.
(I used Schoppel Wolle Ambiente. I used the entire skein which has approx. 170 yards and ended up using a little bit from a second skein.)
.
CO 120 (or for a fit that's a tad more snug... 108)
Join in Round and place marker.
.
*K1,P1* and repeat to end of round.
Continue the K1P1 rib till your piece measures 2 inches from CO edge.
Work the rest of your rows in stockinette till you measures 6 1/2 inches from the CO edge. (Or 7 inches for a little extra slouchiness)
.
Decrease Rows:
1: K10, K2tog -repeat to end of round
2: Knit All
3: K9, K2tog- repeat to end of round
4: Knit All
5: K8, K2tog- repeat to end of round
6: Knit All
7: K7, K2tog-repeat to end of round
8: Knit All
9: K6, K2tog- repeat to end of round
10: Knit All - (Personal note- this was about the time I switched to my dpn's)
11: K5, K2tog- repeat to end of round
12: Knit All
13: K4, K2tog- repeat to end of round
14: Knit All
15: K3, K2tog- repeat to end of round
16: Knit All
17: K2, K2tog- repeat to end of round
18: Knit All
19: K1, K2tog- repeat to end of round
20: K2tog- repeat to end of round
.
Break yarn and pull through remaining stitches. Pull tight and secure. Weave in and loose ends and wear! I didn't block this hat because the sock yarn drapes nicely on its own. :)

PROGRESS ON MY ETSY SHOP!
I have yet to post anything on my shop but am anticipating that I will be doing that this weekend. This week I have been working on writing out my policy for my shop and the items I sell as well as trying to determine a proper time frame in which I can make and ship out my items without causing much damage to my wrists.
But once I have it completely up and running you will be able to find me at the following etsy website:

Well I have a baby ready to get out of her jumperoo and another munchkin ready for breakfast! Will be writing again soon!
Thanks to everyone!
