Psssst: I also have a free crochet pattern for this hat, which you can find here. By using garter stitch sideways, the vertical stretch of the garter stitch goes around the head, making the hat very comfy and elastic. Instead of using a rib stitch to give the hat stretch and elasticity, we’re making a rectangle of garter stitch and turning it sideways.

You don’t need to own circular needles or double-pointed needles, either.

With this hat, you don’t need to know how to knit in the round.

Knitting in the round can be fun, and can open up a whole world of project possibilities, but it can be intimidating for new knitters. Most beginner-friendly free hat knitting patterns are knit in the round in stockinette stitch. With a stretchy rectangle, you can sew the rectangle into a tube, cinch the top closed, and boom, you’ve got a hat.īut if you’ve ever done a search for “easy knitted hat pattern for beginners,” you’ve probably only seen simple hats knit in the round. If you’re a knitter who also crochets, you may have seen easy patterns like this one, where you can make a hat from a crocheted rectangle. (It was also super fun to design!) This beanie style hat makes a quick and cozy gift for fall and winter. Out of all the free knitting patterns I have designed, this one is the simplest to make.
