The pattern begins at the brim with 3x2 ribbing. Then, the ribbing flows into textured columns of dip stitches, cables, and twisted stitches. The Fir Rib hat is a super quick gift knitting project or make it as a cosy treat for yourself. I used Life in the Long Grass Aran combined with a coordinating colour of West Wool Glowhair. The fluffy mohair adds a halo, making the textured stitches shine.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p1\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eAll rights reserved.

If you adjust the gauge slightly with your chosen needle size, then you can achieve these hat circumferences below.
