The Whirls and Purls beanie works up fairly quickly, and produces a cozy and squishy hat with different types of cable knitting, and is considered an intermediate pattern. This hat is a fitted toque with little to no slouch. There is an instructional video included to help with some of the stitches. I hope you enjoy it. If you have any questions about the pattern, you can send me a message on instagram @alpinecraftco or send me an email to alpinecraftco@gmail.com
