Winding Pillars Hat
About:
I was inspired by gothic architecture with their beautiful pillars and sought to recreate them with the Winding Pillars Hat. It is designed with smaller twisted cables running between larger cables to create an interesting textured fabric.
The pattern is both written and charted for working in the round in a range of sizes. Alternative instructions are given for twisted stitches on the smaller cables if desired. This pattern has been test knitted and Technically Edited.
