This pattern is an algorithm for knitting a highly versatile beanie in any size. It’s likely one of the simplest yet most adaptable designs—a classic k1, p1 ribbed hat that stretches to fit comfortably. The beauty of this beanie lies in its reversible nature: it can be worn on either side, giving you two different looks in one. Additionally, the crown can be shaped to your preference—either smooth and round for a classic finish or slightly elongated for a more relaxed silhouette. Whether you prefer a snug fit or a slouchy style, this pattern provides the perfect foundation for a timeless, go-to hat.
