Rebecca's Slouch - knit in Elysian

In December, my Pilates instructor Rebecca came into the studio wearing a hat - it was both cute and simple.  She was kind enough to let me take a picture of it.  Meanwhile,  I had been wanting to make a hat in our new yarn Elysian - a superwash Merino - acrylic blend with a springy twist and it was a good pairing.  I had figured it would be reverse stockinette and double mock rib in bands. Gauge & Measurements: - 6 sts = 1" in 1x1 rib on smaller needles - Band approximately 17" unstretched - Hat approximately 9" long (from edge of band) Materials: - 1 skein Elysian - (60% Superwash Merino Wool/ 40% Acrylic - 219 yds/100 g) - shown in 12 - Twilight Purple - US 6 - 16" Circular Needle - US 8 - 16" Circular Needle - US 8 DPNs - Stitch Marker - Yarn Needle Abbreviations: - K - Knit - P - Purl - sl1 wyib - Slip 1 with yarn in back - Kfb - Knit into the front and back of a stitch (Increase 1) - P2tog - Purl 2 together C
