Ribs and Waffles

If you're looking for a hat that combines warmth with versatility, you've found it! This knitted hat pattern is perfect for crafters of all skill levels, especially beginners, as it requires minimal decreasing. You can customize the length of the hat, knitting it longer or shorter based on your preferred style—whether you want a cozy slouch or a snug fitting beanie. Plus, the brim can be creatively adjusted; fold it up for a stylish double brim or leave it long for a relaxed look.

This pattern is designed to fit an adult or teen with a head circumference of 20-23 inches, making it a wonderful gift option for loved ones, or a delightful treat for yourself. It's an excellent project for those lazy afternoons or cozy evenings by the fire.

For this fun and functional knitting project, you'll need worsted or Aran weight wool and US size 8 & 9 circular needles, along with US size 9 double-pointed needles (DPNs) for the decreases. With just a few materials and a little bit of time, you can create a beautiful hat that will keep you warm and stylish throughout the colder months.
