This pattern works with any gauge or tension. Choose the tension/gauge that suits the yarn and the head size. To demonstrate the pattern’s versatility, the same basic top-down rib hat pattern is used for: Rocky, Mia, Tulip and Ginger published in the same magazine.

To knit this version, download the Rocky pattern and work the knit stitches in one colour and knit the purl stitches in a second colour.
