The model is a size Small made with Madelinetosh Tosh DK. Even though this yarn is labeled DK it work up more like worsted.

This hat begins with a K2P2 rib with occassional Right Twist Accents.

The body is worked using a 12 stitch, 4 row repeat pattern also using Right Twists and Left Twists to create a lattice design. These twists can easily be worked without using a cable needle so this hat works up quickly. A link is provided in the pattern to demonstrate this technique. Sticky yarn is recommended if you are new to this technique.

The design has just the right amount of slouch and would look great with a pom-pom attached. The gender neutral cable pattern works well for anyone on your knitworthy list!
