Cable Rib Hat
"As a twist on the classic ribbed beanie, this knit hat pattern can be made with or without a hole in the top for a messy bun or ponytail. The brim features a vertical cable pattern, adding extra structure to this snug-fitting beanie. With sizing from newborn through adult large, this is the perfect hat for anyone on your gift list. This printable PDF pattern includes step-by-step instructions and helpful tips for knitting cables. The Cable Rib Hat comes in 2 versions: • Classic beanie (on the left). • Messy bun with an opening at the top. Your messy hair bun acts as a pompom for a fun, original, and very practical look. Instructions for both versions are included in this pattern. /PATTERN DETAILS • Sizes: newborn, baby, toddler, child, tween, adult small, adult medium, adult large. • Step-by-step instructions Finished hat circumference (For a snug fit, your hat should be 2-3 cm / 1” smaller than the actual head measurement): • Newborn / Preemie : 21 cm / 8.25” • Baby: 28 cm / 11” • Toddler: 35 cm / 13.75” • Child: 42 cm / 16.5” • Tween: 45 cm / 17.75” • Adult small: 52 cm / 20. 5” • Adult medium: 56 cm / 22” • Adult large: 59 cm / 23.5” /MATERIALS • 8 mm/ US 11 knitting needles.
