Square Rib Stitch Hat – Free Knitting Pattern: Instant PDF Download
Size: fits heads 20″–24″ (two adult sizes)

A ribbed cuff and a textured crown give this beanie more visual interest than a plain stockinette hat while still keeping the construction approachable. Worked in the round in worsted yarn, it’s an intermediate knitting pattern that uses simple decreases — k2tog, p2tog, and ssk — to shape the crown, and comes in two sizes built to fit most adult heads comfortably.
