Handy Ribbed Hat Pattern

This is the time of the year to start work on small items for gifting. One of my very favorites is this hat pattern made in Sisu sock weight yarn. It is a simple rib and requires only one 50 gram ball for the first few sizes. A project to chip away at when there is something really absorbing on the television or you are involved in a good conversation.  Mum knit this version for my nephew Pete.
