Pattern description from the yarn girls’ guide to simple knits:



"Everyone needs a basic hat.  Everyone wants a basic hat.  In fact, if we could name the most often requested pattern among our customers it would be - you guessed it - a basic hat.  Well search no more.  This is, without a doubt, the epitome of standard, everyday, all-purpose hats.  Its ribbed bottom folds up to make a cuff, and it fits tight to the head, kind of like a fisherman’s cap.  The yarn we used is so soft and fuzzy, it will keep you warm on even the coldest of days."
