Kelly McClure's Sockhead Slouch Hat is the perfect project for that one skein of sock yarn that is way too special to put on your feet. Fair warning: this project has miles of stockinette, so it makes for great TV, travel, or zen knitting.
The hat is knit from the bottom to the crown. It is made up of a wide-ribbed brim that folds up for extra warmth while the rest flops and folds over. The body of the hat is knit on short circular needles and the crown is closed up with double-pointed needles. Alternatively, you could knit it using the magic loop technique from start to finish.
