Serpentine Hat
Pattern #11 in the Shades of Green Collection
Skill Level: Intermediate
A knit hat pattern
Serpentine is naturally occurring in the United States, England, South Africa, New Zealand, China, and Afghanistan.
The photos for the Serpentine hat show a beanie, however, the design is very easily lengthened to create a semi slouchy, or slouch style hat. The pattern will note how many repeats to work for your preferred style.
Remember that a beanie takes less yarn than a slouch hat. Make certain to read the materials section correctly before you begin knitting!
Slouch hats are often worn looser than beanies. If you opt to make a beanie you may want to select a size that will fit you snuggly. Alternately, if you want your end result to be a slouchy hat you might consider going up a size.
