This little hat has a cozy, textured brim that is simple, yet special. The slip-stitch twill flies off the needles, and the ribbed lining is joined seamlessly as you knit. This double layer provides extra warmth and a stretchy brim edge for a snug, comfy fit.

The rest of the hat is worked in smooth stockinette stitch, making it easy to customize its height. Subtle crown decreases create a clean finish that complements the simplicity of the design.

Whether you’re knitting for yourself or gearing up for gift season, Twilly is a quick, satisfying make that you’ll want to knit again and again.

Instructions are fully written, with a link to a helpful video tutorial for the provisional cast on.
