Chutes, and also Ladders

Twists are magical things! They’re like cables, but less fiddly. Here, they’re used to “draw" a series of criss- crossing ribbony things, separated by eyelet ladders. The chart is very intuitive, making it much easier than it looks, and the glittery cashmere yarn can only be described as “really friggin’ luxurious." The combination is sophisticated but light-hearted, and the hat knits up more quickly than you’d expect – perfect when you need a gift that will really wow ‘em or just a special treat for your fine self.

The sample was knit in Artyarns Cashmere Glitter. A substitute yarn is shown below.
