Market Twist Hat is a textured DK-weight hat featuring rhythmic cables worked into a 3x2 rib. The stitch pattern forms a subtle check effect using classic 3-stitch cable techniques — including right-leaning cable crosses (C3R) and compact decreases (C3tog) — that create a clean, architectural texture.

I love ribbed hats with added details like cables to provide interest. They’re easy to gift, stretchy enough to fit a range of sizes, and always satisfying to knit. The length is easy to customize — knit fewer repeats for a fitted look, or add extra for a relaxed slouch, as shown in the sample.

• Finished Size: Fits 20–23” (51–58 cm) head; approx. 9.5” (24 cm) tall
• Skills: Cabling with a cable needle, yarn overs, shaping in ribbing
• Pattern includes: Fully written instructions with defined cable abbreviations (C3R, C3tog)
• Yarn used: Sample shown in Magpie Fibers Swanky DK, Fiber Society exclusive colorway
