My knitting life is too generous with me, and I sometimes like to give a little back. I worked on this hat during a very special time of my life, and it’s full of feelings. I want to share the pattern with you, my readers. It is a heartfelt gift.

A Twisted Affair

Sometimes things get twisted… you do your best and hope for the right outcome and it still wraps around itself and makes a tangle…

I am pretty sure you can apply this truth to something today. Whatever that is, I hope this free hat pattern can help you unwind and get through your life’s twists.

This beanie is worked from the bottom up. It features a ribbed brim, and cables all over the body of the hat.
