Using a comfortable, meditative stitch, this pattern is designed for confident beginners and beyond. The spiral effect creates a sleek, seamless look, while the knit-like texture gives it a high-end, store-bought feel—but with the joy of being handmade!
To get the most visual impact, choose a category 4 (worsted weight) gradient yarn. The gradual color changes enhance the spiral effect, making your finished hat look effortlessly sophisticated. And for the perfect finishing touch? A luxe faux fur pom pom adds a cozy, on-trend vibe.
For this pattern I used Loops & Threads Facettes yarn in Violette. This is a roving style yarn that can be a little tricky because it’s very difficult to pull out stitches. Unlike plied yarn, the fibers are wild and free so there is no containing them ! They easily tangle onto each other so be careful with your stitches.
You will also need a 5 mm crochet hook, a stitch marker comes in handy and the of the usual suspects, scissors and tapestry needle.
