This pattern is available individually or as part of an eBook.

This started as a challenge to use the same fingering yarn to develop different looking hats. I played with one, two and four strands of the Estelle Permin yarn and came up with four hat patterns that hopefully will suit everyone’s taste for something simple or complicated.

This hat can be knit as a close-fitting beanie on smaller needles or as a slightly slouchy beanie on larger needles. it is knit with two strands of fingering yarn.

There are four panels and the front one is different. The nupps are knitted over three rows of the pattern and not individually, so much quicker and easier to do. However, this pattern does require a bit more attention.

There are two-stitch twist cable that can easily be knit without a cable needle. Instructions are written out for the twisted stitch and there are many videos available on the net on this subject.
