Mod Cables Slouchy Hat

So remember my Mod Cables Hat from way back when?

I love that hat.  But when I designed it tight fitting hats were popular.  Now?  Not as much.  Now the look is slouchy.  So for this years Malabrigio March I decided that it needed a slouchy reboot:

Much more current.  But I still used the Mod Cables pattern which I love so much:



The fabric that originally inspired the pattern makes me think of Mad Men now...

Can't you just picture this in Don's living room?

Or on your head?

The pattern used exactly one skein of Malabrigio Rio.  A superwash, plied version of their yarn:

It's just as amazing as their merino worsted.  But more...squisy if that's even possible.

The whole Mod Cables Family hanging out.  Here's the Mod Cables Mitten Pattern.

The colorway is Andromeda which I thought complimented my purple coat perfectly:



I like purple.



And wearing it I'm both warm and trendy... bonus!

What do you think... am I pulling this off?

Anyways the hat pattern is now available for FREE as a pdf here:
