An Easy-Level Knitting Pattern
This is an easy pattern for those of you who are advanced beginner level (already have experience with knit stitches), and the techniques you will need to know are knit, purl, k2tog, and knitting in the round.
Using mainly knit and purl stitches you will use simple decreases to shape the rib hat.
If you have never knit in the round before you can watch my video tutorial here. – How to join knitting in the round with circular knitting needles
The Yarn I Used
I made the hat using Classic Alize Lanagold yarn in rust (91) and knit on size 4mm (US 6) and 6 mm (US 10) 16″ circular needles.
You can find this yarn on Etsy or can substitute it with any worsted or Aran yarn.
I knit this hat in the round on circular needles, so there was no seaming involved, just a few loose ends to sew in at the end.

Needles

Please note – you may have to change your needles for the decrease of the hat if working on the circulars becomes too tight.
