slouchy grey hat/beret

I've been lusting a slouchy grey hat or beret for so long. It seems like a nice thing to have on those days when your hair isn't looking its best but you're running short on time and don't want to wear a baseball cap. I have 3 or 4 patterns saved in my Ravelry favorites but I really like this hat below.

It looks like a 2x2 rib at the bottom, basic cables and seed stitch in between. I'm not a fan of the mushroom-esque shape that the hat has in the picture above, but it shows the seed stitch and cables better than some of the other pictures.

materials:
- 1 skein Malabrigo Merino Worsted in 510 Chapel Stone
- size 8 double pointed needles
