Holly’s Bavarian Hat Pattern

If you need a hat that is as fun to knit as it is to wear, you’re in the right place. This design includes twisted ribbing, Bavarian twisted- traveling stitches, an i-cord topper, and embroidered embellishments. Inspired by traditional sweaters and socks in Bavaria and Tyrol in Germany and Austria, this design is updated with a modern style and colors. It’s a quick knit but never boring.
