Description

The Mira Hat knitting pattern is a knitting pattern for a hat that combines different ribbing textures to create a beautiful and classic yet interesting beanie. The Mira hat is knitted from the bottom up. First, the brim is knitted in 1x1 rib pattern. The brim is folded after about 8 cm, working a few rows of double knit so that a nice, clean turned-over edge is created. Then switch to a 2x2 rib pattern. Decorative decreases are made at the top of the hat by knitting stitches together in a total of four places per round. The hat can be knitted to a length that either fits snugly on the head, or a little longer to create a small taper on the head.

Begin by making a gauge swatch to check that you have the correct gauge.
