You know how it is when you want to knit a hat as a gift or for charity - do they prefer a fitted or slouchy hat? will they like the stitch pattern?? will it fit???

Well, with this versatile reversible pattern knitted in the round (so no seaming), you have four different options all from the same hat!

• broken rib beanie with turn-up brim
• broken rib slouch beanie
• seed stitch beanie with turn-up brim
• seed stitch slouch beanie

Great as a charity knit as gauge isn’t important - the rib is stretchy widthways and the length is adjustable because of the turn up - and so fits almost any adult head.

Another great plus is that it takes only one 100g ball of chunky/bulky yarn and can be knitted up in just a few hours (especially as, unlike tradition ribbing, every other pattern row is plain knit!)

Written pattern includes option for smaller size (teen)
