Inspir(al)ed
Thanks for the feedback, ladies! Here it is! Enjoy the pattern!
Inspir(al)ed was inspired by Marnie Maclean's Nautilus hat. The spiral is one of those natural forms whose appearance, anywhere, is so appealing, and finding Marnie's pattern when I was relatively new to knitting was kismet. As anyone who's knit hats will know, the spiral also appears in decreases on a bottom-up knit hat. I wanted to incorporate something interesting around this, and after much trial and error, and two months of back-and-forth with my incredibly generous and patient tech editor (who else), Inspir(al)ed is fit for release.
This knit hat is enhanced by a four-stitch cable that circles up to the top. As well as having two yarn weight options, there are two lifted increase options. The pattern may seem easy, but pay attention to the charts!
Marnie wears the worsted weight version here. This version makes a thicker hat with only 6 spiral sections, whereas the sport weight version has 7 spiral sections.
(Special thanks to Marnie Maclean.)

Neat! I love the top!
The hat is very nice (great)! I love the photo of you MJ, and the web redesign.
What a great pattern! Makes me wish I had a use for hats. I'm sure lots and lots of people will soon be wearing this!
Yay for a beautiful new pattern in the morning :)
Schweet!
I was a little confused because after paying it redirected to a site that looked like it was going to do something and then nada...but I also had my mail program open, clicked over there, and BAM there the link was! Yay! I love the internet.
Thanks for a great pattern!
