Mistake Stitch Rib Hat

Knits and purls are sequenced to give a pleasing texture and intuitive knitting experience to keep things moving quickly for a weekend ready hat. You can wear this low and slouchy or roll things back for a closer, snug feel. Instructions included are for those of you ready to work in the round or with steps for knitting flat before seaming. Whether you choose to add a pom pom or not is your call.
