Pay What You Choose: In the interest of making my patterns financially accessible to all knitters while still honouring the time and work that went into creating them, I’m including ‘Pay What You Choose’ tiered pricing for my patterns. I believe the baseline price represents a fair amount of compensation for my time and craft. If you can afford the full price, I am glad; if you cannot, please choose a price you are willing to pay, no questions asked. Tiered pricing works on the honour system and I will never know your financial ability, but I would very much like designing knitting patterns to be sustainable for me. Here is a list of the coupon codes and the discounts they represent: 
No Code: $8.00 CAD 
Orchestra: 10% off 
Box Seats: 20% off 
Mezzanine: 30% off

This sassy, bouncy, spiral hat is knit flat, sideways, and on the bias and kitchener stitched together. It is totally reversible, and I recommend knitting it in long gradient yarns, pulling from either end of the same ball or using contrasting gradients. It is worked in small, 20-row sections and is therefore customizable to any size. And there are only four ends to weave in!

To knit this hat, you will need:
1 ball Kauni Wool 8/2 Effektgarn (I used approximately 300 meters/328 yards to make this hat, drawing from opposite ends so that the gradients ran into each other) or other sport or fingering yarn
3 mm circular needles (between size 2 and 3 US)
1 stitch marker
crochet hook for provisional cast on
tapestry needle for kitchener stitch, and to weave in ends

Gauge:
24 stitches = 10 cm/4 inches in stockinette stitch
10 rows = 3.2 cm/1 ¼ inches in garter stitch (this is the hat band, so measure this section to fit your head)

Required Skills:
knit, purl, left- and right-leaning decreases in both knit and purl, increases (knitter’s choice), provisional cast on, kitchener stitch

Notes:
Most of the required skills are written into the instructions, with the exception of provisional cast on.
