This hat is knit entirely in 1x1 ribbing. In order to create the textured pattern, every 10th row the ribbing switches from K1P1 to P1K1 (and then back to K1P1 after another 10 rows). This is great practice for early knitters who hate doing ribbing (I was there once).

As written the pattern will create a stretchy hat with a long brim. If you prefer a hat without a brim or a shorter brim there are alternative options included with the pattern.

This hat will fit most adult heads because of the stretch. You’ll need about 250y of worsted weight yarn to make the longer version of the hat and 150y for the shorter version.
