Simple Hat with a Twist

This hat is constructed sideways with moss stitch and a cable edge, and the shaping is formed by knitting short rows around the circumference. The hat has a lot of stretch, which offers flexibility as a gift and longer wear for children.

The pattern provides written instructions as well as charts for toddler, child and adult sizes.

If you’d prefer, the hat can be knit by holding two strands of worsted weight yarn together but be sure to double-check the gauge.
