All the ribs hat

If you’ve got to knit a plain ribbed hat (and what is more universally acceptable?) then this is one way to have a knitting experience that won’t bore you to tears . Ribs that count up from 1 to 4, give a little more visual interest and still create a super-stretchy and snug fitting hat.
