Ruke rib hats

Introducing the Ruke Ribbed Hats knitting pattern, a delightful choice for both seasoned knitters and enthusiastic beginners. This versatile pattern features two distinct yet similar designs: a classic ribbed beanie and a playful onion-style hat that’s perfect for kids and adults alike. Both hats are seamlessly crafted in rounds from the bottom to the top using a Rib stitch pattern (k2, p2) and are made with 4mm (US6, UK8) 40cm circular needles for optimal comfort and ease of use.

**Yarn Requirements (two yarns held together):** For this project, we recommend using Ruke knit, Wool (100% Wool; 100g (3.5oz) = 350m (383yds)) for a warm and cozy finish. To achieve a fluffier texture, consider adding a third yarn option, such as a mohair/silk blend, which is available at most local yarn shops or online from a variety of yarn brands.

**Yarn Weight:** The pattern calls for Worsted / Afghan / Aran weight yarn, specifically 100 g (3.5 oz), 1 ball translating to approximately 350 m (383 yds), making it an accessible choice for knitters looking to create a soft and durable hat.

**Needles Needed:** You will require 4mm (US6, UK8) 40cm (16in) circular needles, along with 4mm (US6, UK8) 20cm (7.75in) double-pointed needles (4 pieces), providing flexibility in your knitting technique.

**Gauge:** To ensure your hat fits perfectly, the gauge is critical: 10cm x 10cm (4in x 4in) should equal 16 stitches x 28 rows in Rib stitch after washing, allowing for the best possible finish on your project.

**Notions Required:** Don’t forget the essential tools! You will need 4 closed stitch markers and a tapestry needle, which will assist you in crafting your beautiful Ruke Ribbed Hats with precision and ease.

This knitting pattern is not just a functional guide—it's an opportunity to create unique, beautiful hats that make perfect gifts or personal accessories. Whether you’re looking to keep warm during chilly winter months or want to craft playful hats for the little ones in your life, the Ruke Ribbed Hats knitting pattern is an ideal project for every knitting enthusiast.
