This Andean Peaks Hat pattern will include instructions for both a slouchy and beanie hat, so pick your favorite and let's get started.

Be sure to watch the stitch video here.

Andean Peak Hat

What you need:
H Hook (or hook to meet gauge)
Medium Weight Yarn (Knit Picks Mighty Stitch in Conch, Marina and Mint)
Darning needle
Optional- PomPom- handmade using this tutorial

Gauge: 14 dc = 4″

Slouchy Fit:

Band: (using 1st color)
Ch 7.
1. Hdc in 2nd ch from hook. Hdc 5. Turn.
2. – 46. Ch 1. Hdc in same st. Hdc 4 in back loops only. Hdc in last st, through both loops.

Band should be very stretchy, and should be approx. 15″ long UNSTRETCHED. This measurement is only accurate if you haven’t stretched it around your head yet. It should be stretchy enough to stretch several inches. I provide this measurement only because many people ask for it. If yours doesn't seem stretchy due to your gauge or yarn choice, feel free to change the number of rows to fit your head.

Fold in half, sl st both ends together forming a band. Turn inside out so the seam is on the inside, and the loop is on the top. Continue to step 1 of the body.
