Easy Knit Hat Pattern

This warm easy knit hat pattern is a fast and fun quick knitting project. And for those of you who prefer working on straight knitting needles this is a two-needle hat pattern for you to enjoy. 

Sometimes I do prefer knitting hats on 2 needles and I'm sure some of you do too. I just find it a little easier.

This easy hat pattern will make a great last minute gift or a super project if you're knitting for charity plus it's simply a nice easy knitting project. 


Easy Knit Hat

For beginner knitters this easy knit hat is a little more detailed than my garter stitch hat pattern.  This one has a little more shaping at the top.

That way you can practice a couple more knitting techniques like the rib stitch pattern and also a knit decrease, the K2tog (knit two stitches together).

For all you experienced knitters out there this is simply a nice relaxing quick knitting project to enjoy.  And again if you like knitting hats for charity this hat is a great choice as it knits up in no time and will fit most adults.

Notes: This hat pattern will fit most adults because it's nice and stretchy. When I designed it I made it for a head measurement of 20 inches however it really is very stretchy and will fit most adults.

The measurement from the crown to the ribbing is about 9 inches (sewn up) so it actually fits really nicely on your head.
