Fisherman's Rib Stitch beanie

This beanie was completely made with the fisherman rib stitch. It's a super stretchy and squishy rib stitch. I learned this ribbing through YouTube. If you want to learn all you have to do is go on YouTube and search "Fisherman's Rib Stitch". Easy-peasy.

Now on to the vague instructions!

Materials used:
Worsted weight yarn
3.25mm needles

Instructions:
  • cast on 72 stitches
  • fisherman's rib stitch for 5.5 inches then start decreasing
    • Next time I will knit at least 6 inches the 5.5 was too short in my opinion. 
  • DECREASING
    • divide 72 by 6 
      • use markers to divide into sections
      • this is only to making decreasing easy 
    • Row 1: k2tog every 6 stitches
    • Every even row: knit fisherman's rib 
    • Row 3: k2tog every 5 stitches
    • Row 5: k2tog every 4 stitches
    • Continue until there are 12 stitches left
  • Cut yarn, close up the hole, weave in end.
