Birthday Pattern Release & Sale! ✨ Hi all! Celebrate my Birthday with me! To mark the occasion, I’ve just released my newest design - the RibLine Hat! All my patterns (including the new RibLine Hat!) are available with a 43% discount until Sunday, November 15th (end of the day, Warsaw time, no code needed). Enjoy and happy knitting! ❤️

Meet RibLine - a simple yet sophisticated hat designed with a minimalist aesthetic and crafted entirely in classic 1x1 ribbing, finished with a striking, neatly shaped crown.

What makes this pattern truly exceptional is its remarkable versatility. Graded across 6 stitch count options (from 96 to 136 stitches), it effortlessly adapts to three different yarn weights (Sport, DK, and Worsted), giving you endless possibilities to create your dream beanie.

One pattern, so many ways to style it!

Why you’ll love this pattern:

• Seamless & Flawless Finish: Designed to give you an exceptionally clean look without any unwanted “stair-step” effects.
• The Perfect Fit: Designed with a generous amount of negative ease to hug the head snugly.
• Non-Superwash Friendly: Especially recommended for non-superwash wools to give the crown a beautiful, upright structure, though superwash yarns work wonderfully if you prefer a closer, slouchy fit.
• Detailed & Beginner-Friendly: Includes clear instructions and comprehensive guidance for all options across multiple yarn weights.
• Wear it Your Way: Style it however you like! I personally love wearing mine with the crown decrease lines crossed and the top slightly flattened across, as shown in the photos.

Sizing & Options

• Stitch Count Options:( 96, 104 ) { 112, 120 } ( 128, 136 ) sts.
