This is a modern take on a ribbed beanie inspired by Jacques-Yves Cousteau. It is knit from the top down. You will start by using magic loop and a closed cast-on, so there is absolutely no seaming.
This hat is designed to have a folded brim for extra warmth around your ears. It fits a wide range of head sizes because of the stretchy nature of the ribbed fabric.
Red hat sample knit in Ampersand Fibers Jenson DK ‘Vermillion 03,’ size 2. Blue hat sample knit in Less Traveled Yarn Arcadia DK ‘Cosmic Chocolate,’ size 3. Dark blue hat sample knit in Kelbourne Woolens Scout ‘Navy,’ size 2. I like using non-superwash yarns for these hats, because of the memory of the wool, but feel free to use superwash (just know that it may stretch even more).
Materials:
DK weight yarn (70-100g or 170-280 yds)
US #4/3.5mm 40” or longer circular needle, or size needed to obtain gauge
US #4/3.5mm 16” circular needle
Optional: US #3/3.25mm 16” circular needle
darning needle
stitch marker
locking stitch marker or progress keeper
Gauge:
30 sts and 29 rnds = 4”/10 cm in rib stitch, unstretched
Sizes:
Size: 1 (2, 3)
Actual Size: 14.4” (15.5”, 16.5”) unstretched circumference
To Fit: 16-19” (18-21”, 20-23”) head circumference
*(Ribbing has a tremendous amount of stretch and you can get away with a lot more wiggle room than is noted.)
