If you know the knitting basics, you can make this hip and warm Slouchy Hat for yourself, your family members, or as a wonderful gift. All you need is a couple of hours, knitting needles and yarn of your choice.
Eye-catching but not distracting,

style, and will bring texture and warmth. The thick cables on this hat
will keep your ears extra warm during cold winter days.
