Based on the popular ‘Elana’s Corkscrew Beanie’, this is the adult version of the hat. Starting at the hem with a 1x1 rib and options for a turn-up rim, the pattern spirals up towards the crown with decreases worked into the corkscrew pattern. Knitted in chunky-weight Rowan Cocoon this will be a quick project for experienced knitters and can be completed within a couple of evenings.

2022 UPDATE - Two versions of the pattern are available when you click to buy, to knit flat or in the round.
