The Rusk Beanie puts a fresh twist on classic knitting techniques. Combining upward-winding cables and seed stitch columns creates a wonderfully textured and cozy hat.

My head size is 57cm, and I find I can fit both the large and the small hats. If you’re in the middle and unsure, I recommend sizing up.

For a size small I used about 70% of a skein of Big Twist Living yarn (color shown is Mustard).

Gauge is included in the knitting chart, to show you where the 10cm/4in mark should fall when knitting in the pattern.
