Maja Hat

The Maja Hat features a unisex style with a twisted stitch pattern that is worked without a cable needle and becomes easier to knit round by round. The stitch pattern is the same as in the Maja Jacket, so the hat is a perfect way to try out and learn the stitches. The Maja Hat has three written sizes so it can be knitted for the whole family.
