Intermediate knitting pattern featuring a mock cable made by making a right twist.

The right twist in this hat gives a nice and interesting texture to the hat. The right twist in this hat pattern is creating a spiral effect.

This hat pattern is fairly quick to work up, making this is a fun knitting pattern to complete on a quiet evening.
