Do you ever find yourself wanting to make a hat with more than just knit stitches, but not so much detail that you are constantly looking at the pattern or counting stitches? Then this hat is the perfect knit for you!

Squares of alternating stockinette stitch and reverse stockinette stitch form a woven-ribbon effect that travels from top to bottom of the hat without drowning out the color of your yarn.

This pattern is perfect for solids, tonals and yarns with short color changes. Knit in worsted or aran weight, it comes together so quickly that you’ll want to make another one right way!
