New knitting design: Gabriela slouch hat

I've been working with my knitting needles trying out some slip stitch patterns to generate different textures . The variation that can be achieved with the use of slip stitch is extraordinary and the fabric you get looks intricate, interesting, labor consume (we can agree in that), but with a great texture.

This type of stitch is commonly used to work multicolored knitting fabrics like mosaic knitting when you can work one color at a time making your work easy with an outstanding result.

Even though my design is mono-color, this time its all about the texture.
This slouchy hat, which I call Gabriela slouch hat, knitted with a DK weight, wool/silk blend yarn is a weekend project but you'll find it so current that is going to be part of your wardrobe for a very long time.

I already published it on my Etsy shop.

Candela modeled it for me and she looks trendy in it, doesn't she?
