This hat includes fully written and charted directions for two different yarn weights--worsted and sport. See below for details.

I love swirly and curvy shapes in nature and man-made items. This hat highlights a twisted and clustered stitch pattern set into a twisted rib background. Use a solid or tonal yarn for best results. Learn something new with this pattern as you try the German Twisted Cast-On. Like the hat? Knit the coordinating Little Lovely Cowl!

Finished Size: approx. 16” (41 cm) around (unstretched) and 9” (23 cm) tall from cast-on edge to top. If 9” is a bit deep for your hat taste, you can shorten the ribbing at the beginning of the hat. This hat is very stretchy and will accommodate a wide variety of head size…I tested it! (Shown on a 23” head.)
