This simple rib hat is a great basic for everyone's winter wardrobe.... baby, boys, girls, teens, men and women!
Turn up the rib for a fitted hat with a double layer cuff, or wear it unfolded and tall for a young contemporary look.

These MIKKI ribbed hats shown here have been knitted in Debbie Bliss Rialto DK and Sirdar Snuggly Cashmere Merino DK on 3.25mm (US3)
As this hat is knitted in rib it requires a smaller needle than the standard size recommended for DK (US Light worsted) yarns. This smaller needle size will give you a neat rib with elasticity and memory (it will bounce back).
The hats sizes are written using the tension of this smaller needle
Other recommended DK merino yarns are:
Sublime Extra Fine Merino DK, Rico Essentials DK, Valley Yarns Superwash Merino DK
Due to the elasticity of this rib structure, the hat is very narrow when lying flat and stretches for a snug fit. The best fit for this hat is when the hat is stretched between the smallest and largest of its stretch capability. The sizes have been carefully worked out so they should be a great fit the ages listed below.
