RIB STITCH HAT




Yay! My first hat done for the year. I've been heavily focusing on scarfs, cowls, etc. and forgot about one of my favorite winter staples: the beanie. I made it extra slouchy and I just love the poppy red color of this yarn. It'll be another month (or two) before the weather drops below the 90s, but I think it'll be a good transition piece from fall to winter when the temperatures do get into the range of sweater weather. A great tip I found for decreasing whilst shaping the crown for the rib stitch was to always decrease starting with a purl stitch when knitting two together. It really kept shaping the crown looking smooth and not all wonky.
