1,2,3 Broken Rib Hats
Taking inspiration from family members working in the construction trade, and the Plymouth Yarn Encore neon colors, I decided to create this safety first series. The hats are designed as variations to the ribbed watch cap. I took a good look at 400 knitting stitches by Potter Craft, decided to use the standard broken rib(p16), but made modifications to the interrupted rib2(p27), and 5/5 checks(p21). The breaks, interruptions, or checks give the knitter something interesting to do, and if finished neatly, the recipient can wear each of them inside-out for a very reversible look. Each hat takes just a few hours to knit, and makes a perfect gift or accessory for either gender. Use the neon colors for safety at the work site, or while waiting for the school bus. The 1, 2, 3 Broken Rib Hats also work well in a cotton or wool blend for a more traditional look.
