A subtle difference in how you make a knit stitch turns a simple ribbed hat into a funky, super stretchy beanie. You’ll love wearing this soft and springy hat every day.

Who it’s for: Level 1-2, First Stitches to Finding Your Rhythm. If you can knit and purl and you’re still looking things up, you have what you need. If you’ve finished a few hats, you’ll feel right at home. The one new thing is a twisted knit stitch in 1x1 rib, worked in the round on a circular needle and double-pointed needles. Stuck? Our Knitting Knowledge tutorials are here to help.
