The Steamboat hat is knit from the bottom up, beginning with the ribbing. The blue worsted weight version hat a 3” ribbing and more repeats of the cable pattern. The red worsted weight version has a longer ribbing and fewer repeats of the cable pattern. Wear with a folded brim for extra warmth or not for some slouch! The chunky weight tweed version is just the right beanie length.
Directions are for both worsted and chunky weight yarns.
