Double Twist Beanie Hat – Knitting Pattern: Instant PDF Download

Sizes: Kids’ 2–4 yrs, Kids’ 5–8 yrs, Teen/Adult M, Adult L (circumference 16–22″)

The Double Twist Hat earns its name from a clever two-stitch twist pattern worked into every alternate round — a simple technique that creates a richly coiled, rope-like rib texture across the whole hat. This modern knitting pattern for a textured beanie is adaptable to almost any knitter’s preference: instructions are given for both circular knitting and flat knitting, making it a versatile worsted weight hat pattern whether you prefer working in the round or seaming. Four sizes spanning kids through adults mean you can knit the whole family a set.
