spiral ribbed hat pattern

[baxterj]

Hi everyone -

I'd really like to make a hat with spiral ribs with purl columns in between each rib column. I haven't found any patterns online that I like. Anyone have a suggestion for me?

Cheers!

It might help if you tell us what you don't like about the hats you've found. There aren't really too many so you may have seen these.

This one is for a baby, but could be made bigger.

It's really just a set of ribs that move one stitch to the left on each round. If you know what your stitches look like it's very easy to do.
