Fancy Ribby Hat
When I first created this cute hat, my daughter was just eighteen months old. As any parent knows, little hands are always busy and constantly exploring, which often means pulling off hats—even when the temperature is well below freezing outside! To solve this adorable little conundrum, a solution came to mind: the hat needed ties! Armed with creativity, I set to work on this design, and that's how this charming hat came to be.
Fast forward five years, and I still treasure this hat as one of the cutest and most practical accessories for toddlers, teens, and even adults. Over the years, I have fine-tuned the pattern, adding enhancements and extra sizes to accommodate everyone in the family. Now, this versatile hat is suitable for the entire crew, making it a must-have in your knitting repertoire!
