Featuring Austrian twisted stitch patterning and a Latvian Braid band, this elaborately patterned cap is easier than it looks and would make an impressive gift for a special someone.

Hat with contrast Latvian Braid stripe requires small amount of second color.

16 inch circular and double pointed needles (or needles for magic loop or two circular method for completing the smaller circumferences at the crown – knitter’s choice).

This pattern is charted with a separate chart for each size. There is a key with explanations for each stitch but no line by line instructions.

This pattern is most suited for the intermediate knitter but there is nothing an adventurous beginner could not master.
