All In Line is a firm-fitting, head-hugging beanie in sizes for men, women and children/teens. It is designed to be worn brim down, but a turn-up brim version is also possible from this pattern. This hat features a patchwork style design that uses simple stocking stitch together with a twisted rib stitch in alternating sections. The ribbed sections help to give the hat its snug fit and provide some attractive vertical patterning. All In Line is a light fingering weight pattern knitted in one piece from the brim up. It requires basic knowledge of knitting in the round and simple decreases. It is not a difficult hat to knit. Suitable for advanced beginners.
