My Next Hat Pattern + Your Opinion, Please?

I’m in need of your opinion, so you’re getting a sneak peek at what will become my next hat pattern (surprise! :D). I’m hoping to have it done ASAP because it’s thick and warm, making it a perfect Fall/Winter hat!

Anyway, what I wanted to ask is, what do you think of the ribbon woven through? Love it? Hate it? I wanted to give it a little something different. I intended for the ribbon to be a different color but I bought the wrong size, so the white is just temporary.

Also, what do you think of the size? It’s bigger than my other slouchy hats. I’m not sure if you can tell but it comes really close to touching the top/back of my shoulders.

I would love to hear your opinion! :) I’m thinking about making a couple different options with the ribbon. Like a crochet piece in a contrasting color rather than ribbon. And even the option to eliminate that round if you don’t like it.

P.S. Check out that 100% authentic lens flare on these photos! I couldn’t do that if I tried! Not that I wanted to. I guess if it’s not one thing, it’s another. Usually wind ruins my photos.

  4. I love this hat. I live in the Northeast and stand out on a six foot high platform waiting to take a commuter train to work. The longer back will certainly help keep the wind chill at bay. The ribbon can be changed to match my coats.

  6. I like the ribbon. I think it adds a nice contrast to the hat and gives it a nice “finishing touch”.

  9. Love the hat, the ribbon’s okay, especially in contrast color or stripe maybe. I would love to see beads, some unusual trim. Funny, I just joined your blog seeing your new idea, was thinking of making it uber fashionista with sparkly yarn and maybe a row of sequins somehow. This current pattern is probable too casual for that treatment. Thanks for sharing.

  10. The ribbon is fab, it gives the piece whimsy… Thinking it would be doubly fab in satin to contrast the textures. Perhaps baby blue with the brown hat above? I’ll seriously be waiting for this pattern as I made one of your other slouch hats and 4 more for some friends, even shared it on my blog via your link. I would be more than willing to crochet test for you.

  12. I would try and crochet a contrasting color use that instead of ribbon and see what the effect might be just a suggestion on my part

  13. Love the hat. It is really pretty. Like that it is longer and slouchy. The ribbon is nice too. Like the contrast it gives. It is something I would wear (and I’m not really a hat person).

  16. My 16yo daughter really likes it a lot. :) I do too, but I thought you’d likes teen perspective

  19. My daughter and I absoluetly love this one. I personally like the ones with the designs at the base, but this one is real nice with the ribbon in it. I’d love to have this pattern. Thanks for the patterns. If times weren’t so hard and money so tight right now i’d definetely buy your patterns.
    Many blessings,

  21. Love this hat, ribbon and slouchiness is perfect. I make hats and am always looking for new ideas so I don’t get bored. I made your Waffle hat in an hour with a ball of red bulky someone gave me, Everyone loved it. I love your ideas and look forward to seeing what you come up with next. Thanks for inspiring.

  22. Happy New Year!

    Love your site! Thank you for the inspiration and free patterns. Can we get this pattern yet?

  24. I love love love this hat!!!!! I wanna make it ASAP!!! haha. Do you have a link for the pattern yet???? :)

  25. Hi! I love this style. Simply beautiful. Please let me know when it becomes available so that I may purchase the pattern.

  26. LOVE IT! I have been looking for sexy snoods from the early 1900’s and what you have created comes close…I am still looking for a pattern where I can weave in pearls and other gems throughout the pattern. I am a psychologist and crocheting is my relaxation. So, I would LOVE this pattern, if available…I have a cross country flight coming up and would like to make a couple…I promise pictures! Thanks for your site! Best, Beverly

  29. I love this hat pattern. If you ever have the free version of it I would love to get it from you. My Granddaughter would love to have one like this. The ribbon really sets it off in the right direction. If you put a crochet one through there I would like to see how that looks, but the ribbon really dresses it up.

  31. Hi Julie,
    I really love this hat. I noticed that it’s been on your blog for while now and I wanted to know if you were planning on writing a pattern for it soon?
    Thanks

  32. I Love this! it looks great with the ribbon, and since i have very long hair it would be perfect! I would make or buy this hat :)

  33. I love this hat but I love all of yours. This is very unique. I’ve never made a hat and want to try one. I just get a little nervous trying something new.

  34. I LOVE, LOVE, LOVE this hat pattern! The ribbon is adorable…I hope you offer this to us soon!
    Thank you!
