Diamonds & Gems Slouchy Hat 

The Diamonds & Gems Slouchy Hat  is a companion pattern to the Fingerless Gloves, Boot Cuffs and Cowl patterns. This set is a fun interplay of color and stitches that form a pattern that reminds me of gems — like a necklace made of yarn! The multi color design make these the perfect stash buster too. Have fun and mix up the colors!
