There’s nothing more classic than a ribbed beanie and it’s a must-have for any wardrobe. The Basic Ribbed Beanie is a quick and easy knit that is easy to put down and pick back up.
Worsted weight mini skeins were used in rainbow order for the Basic Ribbed Beanie. To avoid weaving in ends, Russian join method was used to join the mini skeins. This allowed me to wind the yarn up into one skein and keep knitting, rather than stopping when I got to the end of a mini skein.
