Description:
This hat was inspired during a road trip to Montana in Jan 2013. I needed a beanie; it needed to be simple, but not plain stockinette, and something I could make while being a passenger for a couple of days. This hat turned out perfect, and kept my noggin plenty warm while playing in the snow!

Gauge: 17 sts x 27 rnds = 4” in stockinette

Size:
Measures 16” circumference, unstretched. Can easily be made larger or smaller by changing the size of the stockinette section. I recommend changing stitch count in multiples of 4, to maintain the 2x2 ribbing for the brim.

Materials:

  • 1 skein (approximately 200 yards) worsted weight wool. Pictured in Malabrigo Merino Worsted in the Glazed Carrots colorway.
  • Size US9 needle for preferred method of working in the round.
  • Tapestry needle for weaving in ends

Written directions are all on page 2. Charted directions are all on page 3.
