Hat with Estonian pattern

Hat in twined knitting  - Estonian stitch pattern

I wanted to knit a hat in twined knitting. While thinking about how I wanted it to look I searched through some of my knitting books. I found a pattern that only required minor changes to be used for my hat.It was in a book about Estonian socks, called "Eesti sokikirjad" by Elo Lutsepp and Irina Tammis.

I used left over yarn for this hat, one light grey and two nuances of red. The yarn is from Wålstedt and I knitted on 2,50 mm (US 1½) needles.

These old traditional patterns are the best. They look good and they are fun to knit.
