Have you ever worked two-by-two ribbing with bulky yarn? It may just be the squishiest stitches we’ve created yet, especially when paired with a luscious yarn. In fact, there’s so much forgiveness (read: stretchiness) in this ribbing, that no matter what size Twisted Hat you knit, you’re bound to know someone
who can wear it, making it perfect for gift or charity knitting. Size up for growing children, and it’ll fit for at least a few seasons.

Be sure to check out our coordinating Twisted Socks!

Sizes: 1 (2, 3, 4, 5); Infant (Toddler, Child, Teen/Adult, Adult Large).

Note: 2x2 ribbing is very forgiving, which makes this a great hat for gifting when you don’t have exact head measurements. It’s also ideal for children who are still growing.
