Using twisted stitches and a seed stitch rib, the texture and ridges in this hat are as majestic as the mountain it is named after. The directions are for a size small (21” circumference), but the hat is easily adjustable. If you love twisted stitches, then you’ll have a blast making this hat! If you hate doing twisted stitches, then do this hat so you can get more practice and eventually love doing them. :)

NOTE ON LENGTH: The first time I made this hat, I used Red Heart Worsted yarn and only did 4 of the pattern repeats. The second time I made it with Lion Brand worsted (pictured above) and I had to do 5 pattern repeats to get the same length. So, as you knit measure it at 4 repeats and if it’s around 7” at that point, then you might want to just do the final 4 rows then before the crown shaping. Thinner worsted yarn, though, will take 5 pattern repeats.
