Take it easy, knitter! This soft, exceptionally stretchy beanie is a little knit vacation. Worked in DK or light worsted weight yarn, this ribbed beanie works up quickly and, thanks to a slip-rib motif, looks more complicated than it is. With seven sizes, from baby to adult extra-large, you’ll be able to rib up a hat for anyone you like.

Great for gift knitting, this palate cleanser pattern is a simple knit that you’ll find yourself coming back to again and again.
