The Liquorice Twist Hat

Worked in Malabrigo Chunky

I’ve been working on this hat pattern on and off for a good few years now. I played around with stitch counts, with decrease options, and different yarns. I’d write down what I had done, but then I’d lose faith that I wrote it down correctly, or I’d start to think the stitch counts looked off… Anyway, you get the picture. I tried to get friends to test knit it, just to be sure, but everyone’s lives are so busy, including mine, so here we are! Almost 6 years after I first designed it.

Worked in Misti Alpaca

So this is the Liquorice Twist hat! A cute little beanie with faux cables and the option for a ribbon. There are so many positives with this hat: it’s quick to knit, easy to size up or down (just adjust yarn weight and needle size), and looks great on a boy or a girl. Plus the cabling creates a thick, textured and warm fabric for cold little noggins.
