An Easy-Level Knitting Pattern
This is an easy children’s hat pattern for those of you who are advanced beginner level, and the techniques you will need to know are knit, purl, k2tog, and knitting in the round.
Using mainly knit and purl stitches, you will also complete simple decreases to shape the top of the hat.

The Yarn I Used…
I made the knitted hat using a super bulky weight (06) yarn.
This was knit up quite quickly and used only one skein of yarn.
Any super bulky weight yarn 06 will be okay to use for this pattern.
