Ribbed Donation Hat – 2 sizes that fit from toddler to adult large!

This simple ribbed hat is great for donations; it stretches, has a fold-up brim, fits a variety of sizes, is unisex, and has a classic look.

PinPin

The ribbing makes it stretch so it fits a variety of sizes, as does the fold-over brim. It is a nice, unisex style that works with many fashion styles. Of course, you don’t need to donate this hat, you can make it for yourself or for a gift for someone you know. No matter who you make it for, it will provide warmth and style.

Ribbed Donation Hat Pattern

Cast on 80 (96) sts, begin working in the round using a marker to mark the end of the round

Sides

Row 1: (K2,p2).
Repeat Row 1 until work measures 8 (10) inches.
*10 inches will fold up about 1″ on a large head, so if you want a thicker folded up section, or a hat that doesn’t pull down against the top of the head, you may want to make this part longer.
