Marloes is a slouchy beanie hat closed with a turbanesque twist.

The pattern was just a quick hat I knitted on holiday in pembrokeshire that I wrote up quickly because I felt the twist made it look kinda different.

The twist is knitted by working two strips flat and then grafting, one as a loop to the opposite quarter of the hat and the other looped through to create a twist before grafting to its opposing quarter - believe me its more obvious than it reads!

It took me a couple of evenings to knit, you can adjust sizing by multiples of 4 stitches - but remember, at the top you divide into quarters so if your original number is divisible by 4 then groovy!

Enjoy x
