Classic Ribbed Beanie Knitting

Pattern: Knit Classic Ribbed Beanie

  • September 13, 2020January 6, 2021

This pattern goes back to basics for a beautiful, classic knit beanie. This gender-neutral look is great for beginners and advanced knitters alike.

Materials

  • 125 yards of weight 5 (bulk) yarn. I used Red Heart Soft Essentials for the beanies pictured in this pattern.
  • 5mm (US size 8) circular knitting needles.
  • OPTIONAL: 5mm (US size 8) double-pointed knitting needles.

I get commissions for purchases made through links in this post. Learn More.

Finished Size

The beanie with the brim unfolded should measure 13″ long and 7.5″ wide after blocking.

Gauge: 15 sts – 19 rows = 4″ (10 cm)

Abbreviations

This pattern is written in standard US terms.

  • K – knit
  • P – purl
  • P2tog – purl two together
  • SSK – slip, slip, knit

Pattern

Body:


Cast on 72 stitches.


Row 1: *K2, P2 * repeat to the end of the row.


Repeat row 1 until your piece measures approximately 12.5 inches.

Decrease:

Switch to double pointed needles as needed when the stitches become too tight on the circular needles.


Row 1: *K2, P2tog* repeat to the end of the row (54 stitches).


Row 2: *K2, P1* repeat to the end of the row.


Row 3: *SSK, P1* repeat to the end of the row (36 stitches).


Row 4: *SSK* repeat to the end of the row (18 stitches).


Row 5: *SSK* repeat to the end of the row (9 stitches).


Cut the yarn and weave the end through the remaining stitches. Pull tight to close and tie a knot. Weave in any loose ends.

Fold the brim on the beanie up to the desired length.
