Balsam Point Hat features a geometric pattern that’s reminiscent of a colorwork pattern. You’ll create the angled stitches with 1x1 twists that don’t need a cable needle! Knit your hat up with a folded or single layer brim - or follow the modification tip for a double layer brim that’s secured at the inside. Four sizes will fit much of the family - just pick a favorite solid or semi solid color to show off the stitch pattern!

This pattern assumes knowledge of working in the round and decreases. Both charts and written directions are provided for all stitch patterns. A video tutorial link is included for the 1x1 twists without a cable needle used to create the geometric pattern.
