Beginner Hat Pattern
The hat pattern is easy, knit in a simple garter stitch rib pattern.
Using knit and purl stitches, it will also introduce you to decreasing and shaping.
This knitted hat would take you around an hour or two to make (depending on how fast you knit!) and will be a cosy addition to your autumn wardrobe.
Easy Knit Hat
I made the hat using Classic Alize Lanagold yarn and knit on size 5.5 mm (US 9) 16″ circular needles.
You can use any medium 04 yarn, as the yarn I used can be knit on 4mm (US 6) to 6mm (US 10) knitting needles.
The stitch pattern I used for the hat is broken rib.
Easy Ribbed Hat Pattern
The hat uses basic knitting stitches – knit and purl, to create a garter stitch ribbing for the main body of the hat.
If you are a beginner it will also introduce you to shaping through simple decreases for the crown of the hat.
I didn’t add a pom to this one, but you can if you want!

Hat Pattern For Fall
This hat pattern is great for any beginners who are looking for an easy project, as it can be worked whilst watching a movie.
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.
For example, I cast on 81 stitches for an adult woman, but for a man, you may need to cast on 81 stitches or more.
Free Hat Knitting Pattern
The hat was made in a wool/acrylic blend but would also work up really well with wool or 100% acrylic.
Depending on which type of yarn you want to use for the hat, it is a great project for stash busting!
