The latest hat pattern is finished. I really love twisted stockinette and wanted to use it in another hat pattern. I'm not convinced that this shows it off to full advantage, but I will continue to play with it. Thank you Ann for the name. This hat is not to be confused with Twist of Faith, which is a totally different pattern.
The model was knit with Hometown USA - I have to use up all my super bulky yarn before Spring gets here! The pattern though has instructions for all yarn weights.

Twist of Fate
You'll need 65 - 80 yards of 6-weight yarn and size 13 circular needles or some combination listed below.
Abbreviations:
tbl: through the back loop
k2tog: holding working yarn as if to knit, knit 2 stitches together as one
Cast on 50 stitches, place marker and join, taking care not to twist stitches.
Work Twisted Stockinette Brim:
Row 1: knit tbl all stitches
Row 2: knit all stitches
Repeat Rows 1 & 2 until the piece is about 3 inches long.
Work Pattern:
Rows 1 and 2: knit all stitches
Row 3: *k2tog*; repeat across (this will half your stitches)
Row 4: *purl the horizontal bar before the next stitch, p1*; repeat across (this will increase back to your cast on number of stitches)
Repeat Rows 1 - 4 until piece is about 5 inches in length.
Work Twisted Stockinette again:
Row 1: knit tbl all stitches
Row 2: knit all stitches
Repeat Rows 1 & 2 until the piece is about 6.5 to 7 inches long. If using lighter weight yarn, you might want to make it 8 inches before decreasing the crown.
Decrease Crown:
Row 1: *k8 tbl, k2tog tbl*; repeat around
Row 2: *k7, k2tog*; repeat around
Row 3: *k6 tbl, k2tog tbl*; repeat around
Row 4: *k5, k2tog*; repeat around
Row 5: *k4 tbl, k2tog tbl*; repeat around
Row 6: *k2, k2tog*; repeat around
Row 7: *k1 tbl, k2tog tbl*; repeat around
Finish: Cut working yarn, leaving a 6-inch tail. Draw the tail through the remaining stitches, cinch closed and secure. Weave in ends and enjoy!
