The knit and rib pattern is simple enough for knitters just starting to venture into in-the-round knitting while being a perfect weekend project for an experienced knitter. The knitter also has a choice of creating a snug fitting beanie or a beanie that slouches. No matter the type of beanie the knitter chooses to make, the garment will provide warmth and fold to fit easily in a coat pocket.
