Mistake Stitch Rib Hat PDF

The knit and purl stitch are the backbone to any knitting project. In this hat, the knits and purls are sequenced to give a pleasing texture and intuitive knitting experience. Instructions included are for those of you ready to work in the round or with steps for knitting flat before seaming. Wear with a little slouch or the brim folded up for a snugger, cosier fit. Whether you choose to add a pompom or not is your call.
