I have a new love for designing hats lately, and I wanted to share this very simple design. I feel that though simple in design, it is a eye catching beanie.
Materials needed:
I used less than one skein of Malabrigo Rios, 210yds/192m
4 stitch markers, one for BOR and 3 of a different color for the decrease section.
Double pointed needle Size 8us/5mm
Or
Size 8us/5mm 32in for magic loop

It is a one size fits most beanie, as the ribbing will conform to the head.

Given the wonderful response that I have received for this pattern, I have decided for each five hats that are made by this fantastic group of knitters. I will make one for my local homeless outreach.
