This classic ribbed beanie is perfect for those who prefer a hat without a pom pom. The folded brim allows you to adjust the hat to be as fitted or poufy at the top as you prefer. Mirrored decreases add a little something special to this classic unisex style.

This pattern is written for light bulky, bulky, and super bulky yarn. Yarnsub.com is a great website where you can find similar alternatives.

Ribbing is a very forgiving stitch. I design my patterns to fit more snuggly at first, knowing they will stretch with time. If you like a looser rib, just size up your needles (knowing you will use more yarn if you do).

Be sure to check yardage requirements and the yardage of the yarn you plan to use. It’s a one ball pattern with We Are Knitters The Petite Wool, but bulky and super bulky might require two skeins, depending on the yardage of your yarn.
