This DK-weight beanie features a decorative brim with a diamond lattice. Peek inside, and you’ll find a cozy ribbed lining. This double-brim construction provides extra warmth and a soft, stretchy brim edge. The rest of the hat is worked in stockinette stitch, making it easy to customize its height.

If you are new to twisted stitches, this is a great way to give them a try. The diamond pattern has a quick six-stitch repeat, and the twisted stitches create a beautiful texture without the need for a cable needle. Links to video tutorials are included for any special techniques.

You’ll love watching the pattern take shape beneath your fingertips!
