Zingy Beanie features alternating panels of twisted knit stitches and zigzagging cables for a fun and modern look. The cables are worked with right and left twists, which means they can be worked without a cable needle.

NOTE
The stockinette columns on this hat are worked with twisted stitches (knit through the back loops) for added stitch definition. Twisted stockinette has a tendancy to bias, which can be a neat effect—but if you’d rather the stitches in those sections lie straight like in the pictures, the hat will require wet-blocking.
