The Tidal Beanie is a fun and textured design inspired by the coastal waters of the West Coast. It uses angled twisted stitches to create a spiraled design. Pattern works up quickly and is great for beginner knitters. The Tidal Beanie is one of a series of three patterns that all feature the Twist Stitch. All three patterns (Coastline Toque, Tidal Beanie and Coastline Headband) utilize this fun and textured stitch, yet all have a very unique completed look.
