Product Information

In this post, I’ll show you how to knit a classic ribbed hat. Some may call them a watch cap or a fisherman’s beanie or maybe a toque (if you’re Canadian!) I worked the chain 3 at the start of the increase row as normal, then worked those first two slip stitches through the chain and the corresponding stitches on the previous decrease section. I worked each increase row in this way to the tallest row, then worked the next decrease section as in the pattern and start to join again on the next increase and so on and so forth.

Materials & Notes

Fold the hat with the right sides together. Working from the wrong side, align the sides matching stitch to stitch from the brim up. Use this method to join corresponding stitches up until the end of the starting chain. This will be 2 stitches from the end of the previous row as the joining row is essentially a decrease row. When seaming, it can help to align the ‘steps’ created on the increase and decrease rows to make sure the short, slanted sides are aligned. The free pattern below measures about 37.5cm in circumference and is 29cm in length from crown to brim. This is intended to fit a head with a circumference of 50-55cm / 20-22inches.
