Brewfest Hat Knitted Ribbing Pattern

If you decided to knit your ribbing for you knitted Green Brewfest Hat, this pattern is easy to follow.

I used a medium weight craft yarn for the ribbing on my hat: Red Heart in Light Sage, and knitted with US size 8 (5.0 mm) needles. However, I found that this came out to be too bulky for the hat, in my opinion. So, if you would like to knit the ribbing, I suggest using a smaller yarn with the correct needles for said smaller yarn.

The Ribbing Pattern

Abbreviations List
St(s) = stitch(es)
CO = cast on yarn
K = knit (K1 is knit one, and so on)
P = purl (P1 is purl one, and so on)
P2tog, P4tog = Purl 2 sts together or purl 4 sts together – a decrease.
BO = bind off yarn

Let’s Knit!

CO 12 sts

Row 1: K1, P to last st, K1
Row 2: K across
Row 3: K1, P2tog, [K1, P1, K1, P1] into next st, P4tog, [K1, P1, K1, P1] into next st, P2tog, K1
Row 4: K across
Row 5: K1, P to last st, K1
Row 6: K across
Row 7: K1, [K1, P1] into next st, P4tog, [K1, P1, K1, P1] into next st, P4tog, [K1, P1] into next st, K1
Row 8: K across
Row 9: K1, P to last st, K1
Row 10: K across

Repeat rows 3 through 10 for pattern until the ribbing is approximately 22 inches long, or long enough to wrap around the crown of your knitted Brewfest Hat.

This ribbing can be used with either side:

    The “bobble” side,
    or the mock cable side (this is what was used for my finished hat).
