Classic Ribbed Hat In New Colors

Need a project you can take on the go? Classic Ribbed Hat. Want a no-look TV-friendly knit? Classic Ribbed Hat. Looking for the perfect gift that you can knit up in a wink? Classic Ribbed Hat. It may not be the answer to all our problems, but our free Classic Ribbed Hat pattern sure solves most of our knitting ones!

As straightforward as it gets, you cast on and knit in one-by-one rib from cuff to crown, adding in decreases to create that beautiful spiral detail.

To make the simple stunning, all it takes is the right yarn. And our Cashmere Merino Bloom yarn is just right.

75% extra fine merino and 25% cashmere, this yarn is sumptuous and soft, with a gentle halo that illuminates the detail of your stitches. Since cashmere is even warmer than wool, it’s not just warm, it’s over-the-top cozy, too!

Cashmere Merino Bloom has two even plies, giving this ribbed fabric an even look and a beautiful hand.

Plus, its tidy twist and merino content make Cashmere Merino Bloom hard-wearing, as well… Good news, because this hat is going to be your favorite!

With over twenty colors, it’s hard to choose just one. But that’s okay because, with sizes from tiny baby to big grandpa, you’re going to want more than one of these… So pick a palette and cast on!
