Kilbourne Hat

|
Kilbourne Hat is a unisex close fitting beanie that utilizes twisted stitches to create a zig zag pattern. Beginning with a twisted rib, it is worked in the round from the bottom up with a crown that is worked in progressively smaller zig zags. Kilbourne Hat is very stretchy, so should be worn with 1-2” negative ease. Model shown wearing Adult S/M. Sized to fit both men and women and only using 150-200 yards of worsted weight yarn, this hat will be your go-to gift knit.
