I wanted to make something a little different with a beanie using some new techniques developed by 2 different designers. I used the paracord cast on by Janae Yagi from Smitten Knittins and Crochet Stretch Bind Off by a fan by Charles who had me make a video. These 2 techniques are vital and must be used to produce this hat.

Used the Universal X Loom Small 5/8” gauge or you can use the 5/8” gauge Flexee loom.

I didn’t quite use a full skein of Lions Brand Hometown USA for this project.

You will need paracord and crochet hook, and lots of stitch markers.

There is a full video tutorial helping with the process of the twist in the brim of the hat.
