The Bewind Hat uses a simple twisted stitch pattern to create a lovely winding motif that spirals its way up to the top of the crown. If you can work a knit 2 together (k2tog), then you can knit the twisted stitch. Beginner friendly!

Choose one skein of your favorite worsted weight yarn and you’ll have a new favorite winter hat in no time!

NOTE:
In order to get the swirl, you have to start with an odd number of stitches.

When you finish the first round, you are going to have 1 stitch left before the marker. You will IGNORE the marker from here on out!

Instead keep working the twisted stitch repeat, until you are ready to begin the crown decreases. When you get to the crown, THIS is when you will need to use that beginning of round marker.

If you feel like the marker is going to be a mental block, (it can also be a pain when you have to twist where the marker is), then omit the marker and simply try to start the crown section as close to the beg of round as you can.
