Striped Slip Stitch Hat

Here's another hat (32nd hat for Cap Karma, woohoo!) ... my first attempt at using 2 colors in a hat. I had to try to use up the odds & ends, and this is what resulted. Almost didn't have enough pink to get to the top, otherwise I would have continued striping in the decrease, but I think it turned out OK the way it came out. I'm thinking I need to get some more white or neutral colored yarn if I'm going to try doing this again with any other odds & ends, cuz I can't imagine some of the odds & ends working together unless paired with a white/neutral color. Or maybe I just need to learn more about color theory, etc...

I've posted the pattern here:

DH looked at the photo and thought it looked like gridiron (because the horizontal white stripes look like they bulge outwards like the vertical slip stitches), but then I put on the hat for him to see, and then he said it looks much better in real life.
