The Twist & Rib Hat works well in a cotton or wool blend. The twist gives the knitter something interesting to do, and if finished neatly, the recipient can wear it inside-out for a very simple rib look. This hat takes just a few hours to knit, and makes a perfect gift or accessory for either gender.
