One of the fasted projects I've ever made: the Rugged Ribbed Hat is a beginner project. The sample shown is worked in Plymouth Yarn's Yukon Print (35% mohair, 35% wool, 30% acrylic). One 100gm ball has 59 yards and this hat was made from only one ball using US15 (10mm) knitting needles.

To make it a very easy project, I wrote the instructions in rows (not rounds), so sewing up a seam is required.  If you can work with dpns (double pointed needles) or circulars, this pattern would be very easy to convert to rounds.
