Biggie Rib Hat by Jared Flood

This pattern is available on Ravelry.

“The Biggie Rib hat is a quick but stylish knit for everyone in the family. Sized for Newborns to Adults, this is a great pattern to have in your back pocket for last minute gift knitting or stashbusting small amounts of chunky weight yarn (the Newborn size uses just 45 yards/41 meters!)

The pattern includes instructions for both classic beanie and watchcap (double-brim) styles. Choose from a Standard Crown, or sub the more whimsical Pixie Crown to give your hats a little spritely character!

Worked circularly in 1x1 ribbing, the hat is shaped using a unique ribbed decrease that appears the same on both the right and wrong side of the fabric, making the hat truly reversible. One less thing to worry about when throwing it on small children on the way out the door.“ — designer, Jared Flood

Please note: the stitch patterns used for this accessory include written as well as charted instructions.
