A fairly basic 3 x 2 rib hat with a twist.

If you are looking for a quick, instant gratification project, this is the pattern for you!
Knit in bulky weight yarn (or two strands of worsted), you will be able to make the hat in a matter of hours - perfect for a quick gift, or for charity knitting.

You will need 70 - 80 g of yarn. Original samples were knit with two strands of worsted weight yarn held together.
