Fishermen´s Rib Beanie the Classic
My son asked me a few days ago: "Hey Mom, could you knit a Fishermen's Rib for me? Should look like this."and described them to me precisely in detail. If I could? Of course I can! And I´d love it!
So I dived into my stash, picked out yarns in the desired colors and knitted two or three cozy evenings with Netflix by my side. Thanks to the simple rib pattern, the beanie practically knits itself and in an blink of an eye you have a finished fishermens beanie in your hands.
The amount of yarn you´ll need is comparatively low, which is great if you have one or two remaining balls lying around somewhere (*possible parallels to real people purely by chance).
My husband has also announced a need and now I'm on the third beanie. :-)
I can tell: This will be the basic beanie for all family members and friends. For me, I´ll like to knit it with a silk mohair thread - oh, that'll be so nice too!
On my Instagram you already loved it so here comes the pattern as promised:
The pattern comes in four sizes:
XS = 52-53 cm
S = 54-55 cm

For the typical look of a fisherman's hat, the hat is worn like a cap with the cuffs turned up wide.The dimensions in the instructions refer to this wearing style.
