Prudence Island Hat: Pattern for adult hat with twisted stitches
It’s beginning to feel like fall in Rhode Island, which seems like the perfect time to add another fall hat to my collection. This hat is more complicated than it looks. The twisted stitches and columns patterning may look complicated, but the pattern is pretty easy to follow and memorize.
This hat is also a great way to use up a single 50 gram skein of a beautiful fingering weight yarn you have in your collection. I knit the sample shown in this blog post using Brooklyn Tweed’s peerie yarn and have since knit a second version using the Big Bad Wool pea weepaca.
Pattern Details:
Construction: The Prudence Island Hat features panels of twisted stitches separated by columns of single seed stitches. This hat is knit with fingering weight wool so it’s light but warm, perfect for an early fall morning walk with the dog.
Skill level and skills needed:
