Extra Information:
This hat is worked with two strands of DK yarn. This means that it starts with two MC strands, has a middle bit of one MC and one CC strands, and finishes with two CC strands.

If you want to alter the circumference of the hat, the Twist Stitch pattern has a 6 st repeat so you can change the number of cast on stitches by adding or subtracting multiples of 6.
