Autumn Gold Lace Beanie/Slouch Hat

Autumn Gold is a 4ply, lightweight lace and cable patterned slouch hat – perfect for those in between seasons when there’s a bit of a chill in the air. Choose to work from a written pattern or a chart. If you prefer a beanie style shorter hat, instructions are given when to start your decreases to achieve this look. 

Two versions of the pattern are included, to work flat on two needles or in the round from the cuff up.

Note the rib in this version of the pattern differs slightly from the 2x2 in the original, as I wanted something that flowed better into the stitch pattern.
