This is a very simple, plain hat for men or women.

The simple ribbed pattern is a good way to have a little bit of visual interest while still being easy and very basic looking. This also helps the hat to hold snugly to the head. The section to fold up on the bottom adds a little extra warmth over the ears.

The smaller needle for the gauge creates a very tightly knit, warm hat. However, this hat is also extremely stretchy and will fit almost any size head.
