Ribbed Hat - Knit

Good morning,

Here is the very easy pattern for a hat to match my Ribbed Scarf with Ruffles published earlier.  The yarn is so very lovely that even the most simple pattern produces an elegant piece.

I made this hat to accompany the scarf as a gift for a young girl in our family.  It's easy to do the math to make it in a larger size if that's what you need.

This hat and scarf set will be a gift next Fall, but I make many gifts well in advance and put them in the "gift box" until needed.  In fact, warmer months are a great time to make smaller items that aren't too warm to have on your lap while working.

Very best,
Lois
