This beanie boasts a simple but eye-catching modified rib pattern that reminds me of a ladder. A simple, old-fashioned one like you might find popping out of a ceiling hatch to access your attic ;)

The pattern is very beginner friendly, requiring only basic skills and including all the instructions to learn them! It’s also a wonderfully quick and easy to memorize knit for those looking to make last minute gifts or do market prep.

Instructions are included for Super Bulky, Bulky, and Worsted yarn weights.

Finished size is an adult medium (fits most adults and teens).
