The bias thing from knitting in the round with the twisted knit stitch also looks really cool on a hat. I've made several starting with straight needles, the base yarn and a specialty yarn. After a few inches, I drop the specialty yarn, transfer to circular needles and continue with the base yarn.

If you decrease stitches at the same spot on the rows, it makes this funky swirl at the top. I'll see if I can get the detail to show up in a photo and post it, if successful.

I haven't been following a set pattern for my hats, pretty much picking a size and working up from that. I'm not very proficient with double pointed needles yet. So I decrease a bit and then thread through the remaining stitches. I think this accentuates the funky swirl with the twisted knit stitch.
