Yet another ribbed beanie, but the varying ribbing rhythm and the unusual crown shaping make this one different and interesting to knit. Fits as a beanie with an extra layer of warmth if the brim is folded up, or as a taller slouchy pointed hat with the brim unfolded. Thanks to the ribbing, this squishy textured hat fits most adults.

This hat is fast and easy to knit. It is worked in the round from the bottom up and is quite beginner-friendly as only basic techniques are used.

One size fits most adults (55-60 cm/22-24 inches head circumference). For a smaller or bigger size, use lighter or heavier yarn and adjust needle size.
