I altered this pattern quite a bit from the stated instructions. The pattern called for thinner yarn than I like to use, so I sized up the yarn thickness and needles, and had to size down the stitch count accordingly. You can see all my notes on my Ravelry Project page ... suffice it to say I loved making such a slouchy version of this hat, and plan to make more!
pattern: Sandoval Hat, my pattern
yarn: I Love This Yarn! in dark blue (top hat) and black (bottom hat)

These last two hats are part of a group of hats I'm knitting for the VA Hospital Outreach Center. I've got a few more I'd like to make before the end of the month (when I'll make my next delivery). The hats are big on me, with a 3" folded brim. This makes them perfect for the men the outreach center serves!
