Men’s Cap Pattern
I made the hat using Rico Design Creative Melange Chunky yarn in grey 07 using two strands knit together.
This yarn is really good to work with and comes in a range of beautiful colours.
I love how the colours are self striping and the yarn has a nice texture to it.
Not only is the hat cosy but it is warm too.
This made it suitable for size 10.00mm (US 15) 16″ circular needles.
Lion Brand wool ease thick and quick or something similar would also be fine to use – or any yarn that can be knit on size 10.00mm (US 15) needles.
Men’s Beanie Pattern
I knit this hat on circular needles, so there was no seaming involved, just a few loose ends to sew in at the end.
The hat pattern is easy to follow, knitting in the round on circular needles, you could knit this hat on DPN’s if it is your preference.
The hat uses basic knitting stitches – knit and purl, to knit ribbing and then for the main body of the hat.
If you are a beginner it will also introduce you to shaping through simple decreases.
The hat does not have a pom pom but if you wanted to add one, it would look awesome and ready for the cold weather!

You can even experiment and personalise the hat by adding embroidered initials or adding stripes in favourite colours.
The hat size can also be adapted if you want to make it smaller or larger, just measure the circumference of the recipients head and adjust the number of stitches you cast on.
