Kieto Hat & Mittens

This pdf includes both the hat and mittens patterns.

I love stitch patterns that look interesting but are yet easy to knit. This pattern uses twisted stitches that are worked without a cable needle but yet give an effect of cables with meditative knitting experience. This yarn worked perfectly with this stitch pattern and the color is perfect to showcase the pattern.

SIZING (hat): 
A(B, C)
Sizes are based on gauge. Use different needles and gauge for different sizes, each size has the same number of stitches. The hat should have some amount of negative ease, fits comfortably to head circumference of approx. 21.5 (22.75, 24)" / 55 (58, 61) cm.
Sample is shown in size A worn in head circumference 22.5"/56 cm.

Finished dimensions: 
Size A: Length ~8"/19.5 cm, circumference 19.25"/48 cm
Size B: Length ~8.5"/21 cm, circumference 20.25"/50.5 cm
Size C: Length ~9"/22 cm, circumference 22.5"/56.5 cm

Note: You can add more length to the hat by adding more length to the brim.
