Circled #4 is the fourth and final pattern from the Circled collection.

This Hat features a unique top-down corkscrew spiral that cleverly starts at the centre of the crown and works its way down the Hat. Although the Hat includes some challenging techniques, none of them are beyond the adventurous knitter and tutorials are included to help guide you through.

This pattern is designed for 4ply/sock/fingering weight yarn, and changes in sizes are achieved through gauge.
