The pillar hat starts from the bottom with a small rolled hem. Twisted rib is added, and then two rounds of beads placed over slip stitches. Once the beads are completed, then a simple but very attractive texture stitch (the pillar stitch) is knitted. The hat is not difficult, but looks like it is.

Any worsted weight yarn that gets the gauge of 5 sts = 1” in stockinette stitch will work for this pattern
