This little hat knits up in a jiffy. Cascade’s Pacific yarn makes it soft and warm. The garter rib plus twisted stitches pattern creates a fabric that hugs the head. The little ball on top is optional.

Size:
This hat should fit almost all woman. To make it in a man’s size increase 8 sts. (Pattern is a multiple of 8) and work an extra 1/2 inch before shaping crown. To make it for a child, decrease 8 sts and work 1/2 to 1 inch less before shaping crown. Feel free to adjust depth of ribbing on any of the sizes, the important measurement is depth when crown shaping begins.
