This slouch hat is another perfect addition to wear a hat without suffocating your head. The open work is perfect for cool weather and will still keep your noggin warm.
This hat works up quickly and only uses about 150 yards of yarn.

Stitches used:

Special stitch used:
Cluster Stitch = cl st: Yarn over, insert hook in next stitch, yarn over, draw yarn through the stitch, yarn over, draw through 2 loops on hook (you should have a half-closed double crochet that is worked only part way)repeat this 2 more times for a total of three half-closed double crochet stitches and with 4 loops on the hook. Yarn over and pull through all loops on the hook.
