MY FAVORITE SIMPLE KNIT HAT
A free version of this pattern is available on my blog. Learn all about the pattern in the design overview video.
ABOUT THE PATTERN
This is a fun, quick knit that creates a warm, cozy, gender-neutral, plain knit hat that is the perfect winter hat and a simple and easy gift knit. This pattern includes written and charted instructions.
I recommend knitting the size that provides 1-2 inches / 2.5-5 cm of negative ease in the circumference. This pattern includes sizes newborn to large adult and is easily adaptable for a sizing of your choice. If you wish for a beanie style, knit a height similar to the recipient’s measurement; for a slouchy style, add additional length prior to decreasing.
