The ’Twisted Incline Beanie’ is a cute, textured hat that takes the classic look of a ribbed beanie and gives it a little cabling twist! It features the evergreen 2x2 ribbing embellished by some twisted cables arranged in diagonal lines which give it a captivating look while still keeping the pattern very easy to memorize. The addition of a pop of color to the cast-on and the tip of the hat makes for an eye-catching beanie that you will simply love to wear!

Construction:
The beanie is worked in the round from the bottom up. It starts with a tubular cast-on method that includes a color change, then the cuff is worked in 2x2 ribbing and folded. The body is worked in the same ribbing with the addition of some easy 1x1 twisted cables. After a final color change at the top of the hat, the crown is worked with simple decreases. Lastly, if that’s your style, top the beanie with a big pom-pom.
