It is worked from the bottom up using a lovely slipped stitch ribbing that I have loved for years. The ribbing transitions into stockinette with the slipped stitch maintained for a subtle and simple texture. A perfect quick, one skein project for a beginning or advanced knitter. The hat has a loose fit. If you like a snugger fit, go down a size. \u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003eIt can be made as a beanie or slouchy as shown.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eRecommended yarns: \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/blacksquirrelberkeley.sbs\/products\/make-aran-the-fibre-co\"\u003e\u0026amp;Make Aran\u003c\/a\u003e and \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/blacksquirrelberkeley.sbs\/products\/germantown-kelbourne-woolens\"\u003eGermantown\u003c\/a\u003e. \u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003e\u003ca href=\"https:\/\/blacksquirrelberkeley.sbs\/products\/aireado-bulky-plymouth-yarn-co\"\u003eAireado\u003c\/a\u003e, would also be lovely though the stitch definition will be somewhat obscured by the yummy fluffy halo of Aireado.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIf you appreciate this free pattern, please consider supporting our shop by purchasing from us and becoming part of our community.
