Free Shaker Rib Knit Hat Pattern

Perfect beginner beanie

I just started this pattern 4 days ago and I am already finished with my hat. It is nice and warm and fits my head perfectly. Other reviews mentioned a hard-to-follow pattern, but I am a beginner and even as my first knitting project, I had very little trouble following along. I had an experienced knitter teach me each stitch, but was able to complete the majority on my own (I knitted for the very first time 6 days ago, although I have been crocheting for years).

NOT EASY!! Medium to Hard Pattern

This pattern is not an easy pattern. Caron needs to review this pattern and simplify or I advice to take it off or at least switch the rating to medium/hard. It doesn't tell you whether to knit in the round or flat. The decreases are not easy nor do they match up. Not very happy with this pattern and would not recommend to others unless the pattern is made easier to understand.

Not what I would call Easy.

I don't think this was necessarily an easy or beginner-level pattern. The decrease portion of the pattern, when I followed it to the best of my abilities did not look very nice and so I did my decreases on the pattern side and was able to find some helpful videos when searching under "half fisherman's rib decrease".

Not an easy pattern

I have been knitting throughout my adult life (32 years) and the stitches in this pattern are ones I have never come across until now. I had to search videos several times and the final problem, there was no video for. I used the questions section to ask how to do this, but it wasn't answered until 11 days after I asked it. I wanted to finish the hat, so I just faked it on those rows, and you can tell. I wish they had answered sooner. Cute hat though if you can get those rows done properly.

Which cast on method should I use? I used a Twisted German cast on method based on an Internet search and don't know if this is the best method.

Was wondering if there is a crochet pattern to follow?

In the last paragraph of the instructions…what does it mean to draw through the remaining stitches? I have 13 on my needle. How to I get them off? Do I use a needle or crochet hook to do this?

Is this pattern knit in the round or flat?

I'm having a hard time making the knit below after a dec round. The note says to be sure to pick up all loops, but I can't see how to do this when it's being done into a stitch consisting of (sl1, k2tog, psso). Is there a video out there? I'm desperate!
