Hollywood Slouch

Subtle sparkle is so much fun.  It adds that extra bit of pizazz without being overwhelming.  Hollywood is our new worsted weight Superwash blend, available in 15 trend inspired colors that manages to combine sparkle and soft.  It is also machine washable and has great stitch defition.

Slouches are fun and quick to knit.  This pattern took well under 1 skein and would be a great gift or chemo hat to donate.  The lace pattern is a simple 4 stitch repeat worked over 6 rows (3 of which are knit), so it is also a good travel project.
