How is it almost June already?! It's one of our favorite months here at Twisted because it's our birthday month! Twisted will turn 14 soon and, in celebration, we are suggesting a project that is doubly near and dear to our hearts.

Birthday Crown Beanie

The Designer

Fiona Kay

Many of you will recognize this Twisted Emeritus and her adorable mini. Fiona is now designing stunning patterns that are easy to work, functional, and heckin' cute. This pattern was made with birthdays in mind and reminds us that we should all feel like royalty on that special day. (And every day if we're totally honest!)

The Yarn

Blue Moon Fiber Arts
La Luna DK

Blue Moon's yarns have been a Twisted stalwart for well over a decade. Several years back when a broken water pipe flooded our office, BMFA's owner Tina even offered to muster her entire team and every box fan they owned to come help clean up! So, they're family, too.

Pictured here in Champlum & Moontide, La Luna DK is a sumptuous blend of 85% 19.5 micron super soft Merino and 15% Mulberry Silk. For our Birthday Crown Beanie Kits we've cooked up 19 combos of two contrasting colorways.

You've got options!

Another great yarn you could use for the Birthday Crown Beanie is Berroco Vintage DK. This washable staple is soft, affordable, and comes in loads of solid and heathered colors.
