Description
The Mistake Stitch Rib Hat is a timeless, textural design that celebrates the simple beauty of knit and purl stitches. The sequence of stitches creates a richly textured fabric that’s both intuitive and relaxing to knit. With instructions for knitting in the round or working flat and seaming, this versatile pattern suits every knitter’s preference. The finished hat can be worn with a touch of slouch for a modern look or with the brim folded up for a snug, classic fit. Add an optional pompom for a playful finishing touch.
Made in The Fibre Co. Road to China Light, a luxurious blend of baby alpaca, cashmere, camel, and silk, this yarn creates a fabric of exceptional softness. Its subtle sheen and elegant drape enhance the mistake stitch texture, while its warmth and lightness add a touch of everyday luxury. This small, indulgent project knits up quickly and easily, making it a perfect choice for handmade gifting — a thoughtful treat for both maker and recipient.
