Nothing like a great ribbed beanie hat!

Hi All,
I now have plenty of time to knit, I was laid off today with 60 other hardworking people!

Enjoy this pattern!

I love this beanie hat pattern, you can use all different kinds of yarn. Just get your gauge right and each hat gets their own personality!



The pattern is:
Size- One size fits all.
Knitted measurements- head circumference (slightly stretched) 21"/53 cm
Materials- 1 13/4 oz/50g ball (approx. 105 yd/100m)
Gauge- 20 stitches and 28 rows to 4"/10cm over k4, p4 rib using size 8 straight needles .
take time to check gauge!
