FO Friday: Lowlands slouch

Did everyone catch Tin Can Knits' 12 days of free patterns leading up to Christmas? I think the Lowlands pattern is my favorite of the bunch, and one of a couple that I actually snagged. Per usual, I treated the pattern as more of a loose suggestion. I used it to knit a large leftover ball of One Lupine's Rangeley - a nice, hand dyed woolly-wool - into a beanie with some extra slouch. (Side note: if you're ever in Bangor, check out One Lupine - it's a gem.) I love the way this pattern worked with a variegated yarn, and I'd love to try it out with handspun.

Specs:
Pattern: Lowlands
Yarn: 150 yds Rangeley from One Lupine
Mods: Lots. Used a US 6 for the garter brim, and knit only until it fit snugly around my head (fewer rows than called for). Used a US 8 to pick up more stitches than called for (88?), and knit till it was a nice slouchy length. Improvised spiral decreases at 8 points.
