Introducing the sassy, bouncy, and stylish spiral hat—an innovative knitting pattern designed to be worked flat on the bias and beautifully kitchener stitched together for a seamless finish. One of the standout features of this hat is its reversible design, allowing you to showcase your creativity by knitting it in long gradient yarns. You can either pull from both ends of the same ball of yarn or mix and match contrasting gradients to create a truly unique accessory. This fun project is divided into small, manageable 20-row sections, making it completely customizable to fit any size or style preferences. Plus, you’ll be thrilled to know there are only four ends to weave in, making this one of the easiest hats to finish!

To knit this fabulous hat, you will need the following materials: 1 ball of Kauni Wool 8/2 Effektgarn (approximately 300 meters/328 yards; I used this to create my hat, drawing from opposite ends so that the stunning gradients beautifully meld into each other) or another sport weight or fingering yarn. You will also need 3 mm circular needles (between size 2 and 3 US), a stitch marker, a crochet hook for provisional cast on, and a tapestry needle to complete the kitchener stitch and finish off the ends.

For the perfect fit, here’s the necessary gauge information: aim for 24 stitches = 10 cm/4 inches in stockinette stitch, and 10 rows = 3.2 cm/1 ¼ inches in garter stitch (make sure to measure this section to ensure the hat band fits your head comfortably).

This spiral hat knitting pattern is not only functional but also a delightful way to express your knitting prowess. Ideal for both beginners and experienced knitters seeking a quick project, this hat is sure to keep you warm and stylish in any season. So grab your supplies, and let’s start knitting this stunning reversible spiral hat that’s sure to turn heads!
