Attention all forest fashionistas and cable enthusiasts! Introducing Twig & Berries, the hat pattern taking the knitting world by storm. Imagine yourself strolling through an enchanted forest, crowned in bobbles and cables that even squirrels would envy. This hat isn’t just headwear; it’s a statement of style, comfort, and love for all things woodland.

With bouncing bobbles and twisting cables reminiscent of forest trails, Twig & Berries embodies woodland chic. Whether you’re an urban elf, suburban gnome, or simply love a good pun, this hat promises to elevate your style game. Knit it for yourself or gift it to a friend – because nothing says “I care” like a hat adorned with nature-inspired details.

Prepare to turn heads and evoke envy wherever you go with the Twig & Berries Hat. It’s your ticket to hat stardom, the perfect blend of whimsy and fashion-forward flair.

Worked from the bottom up, this versatile hat pattern allows you to craft a perfectly fitting hat seamlessly in the round. The construction involves starting with the brim, progressing to the body, and culminating with shaping the crown. As you approach the final stages of the crown, you’ll need to switch from using 16” / 40 cm circular needles to either the magic loop method or double-pointed needles, depending on your preference for tackling smaller circumferences.
