When you buy this pattern with the Wrought Iron Cowl, you will get both patterns for $7.50 (prior purchases included).

Like the coordinating Wrought Iron Cowl, this hat was inspired by decorative window grates in Portsmouth, New Hampshire. Slightly slouchy, this hat uses twisted stitches and two-stitch cables to create a raised pattern. Solid or tonal yarns will work best to show off the pattern. Learn something new with this pattern as you try the German Twisted Cast-On.

The pattern can be knit in lace weight yarn held double (360 yds) or one strand of sport weight yarn (180 yds).
