I had some leftover merino wool and silk-mohair yarn from my Petite Knit Oslo Sweater. I love this Ocher Brown colorway and decided to knit a hat. I used tiny needles, for a tighter, cozier gauge and I really like how it came out. I also knitted this hat longer than I normally do, for an extra cozy, slightly wider cuff.
I’m a sucker for classic ribbed beanies, so here is my finished hat! I decided to do a classic four-point decrease (is that the proper terminology? I don’t know…), in which the stitches are divided into four sections and decreased to shape the crown, so the finished hat has four defined sections of deceases.
Not going to lie, it took me a while to figure out how to do the decreases like this, while maintaining the ribbing. I didn’t want to look at anyone else’s pattern to do it - I wanted it to be my own.
I’m looking forward to the weather getting colder, so I can break my knit hats back out. I have so many and I need to show them more love.
