Top it with a Faux Fur Pom Pom: Sometimes a luxe detail can make all the difference in adding a pro finish to your crochet projects.
Either before or after you get started, you will need to decide whether to work a folded brim (this is really the way to go, trust us!) or a single brim (maybe there’s some reason to do this, but Alexa and I find it hard to justify!). So knit the folded brim. Just do it. You may notice that some sizes have the same cast-on stitch count, but they differ in length. Don’t worry… these extremely stretchy hats WILL fit, especially if you knit the folded brim. Here is the same Adult S hat on Alexa’s whole family! Skip the swatch… trust us!Like I said before… the Basic Beanie is NOT a pattern to be underestimated! I think I have already knit it six or eight times… and I usually HATE knitting the same thing twice (except, of course, when I love it). Basic basic basic basic… you get the idea, right?! atropos Christmas beenie hat Present for my brother, hope he likes it. Looks good quality and smart.
For a turned brim, I’d weave in on the ‘front side’ because it’ll be turned up to show the ‘inside’. Add Some Slouch: To create an even slouchier hat or longer brim, simply increase the number of chains in the foundation row of your hat. ribbing is really fun, a bit faster to work, and a little bit stretchier than 1×1 ribbing – so it’s quite forgiving when it comes to size. I can almost guarantee your hat will fit if you make it in 2×2 rib. Here we’ve got a 2×2 rib in Brooklyn Tweed Shelter in Northern Lights. The ribs are a little bigger in 2×2, giving a different effect. The Basic Beanie is knit in the round, from the brim up to the crown. There are other ways to knit a hat (top down, side to side…you name it!), but Alexa and I prefer this method, as it’s a simple pleasure to work – and the fussy bit (decreasing on DPNs or Magic Loop Method) comes at the end of the project rather than at the beginning. This hat is knit simply, from the bottom up! You’ll cast on the brim, work through the body of the hat, and then decrease using either DPNs or the Magic Loop method at the crown. Now… you’ve got more OPTIONS Which Rib? 1×1, 2×2, or 3×1? Here you can see all three rib options side by side. Each has its own unique charm! So… the proof is in the hat. Cast on and see how it goes. Does the fabric feel too loose? Too tight? Knit your first hat and see whom it fits. If it’s not the perfect size, you can go up or down a size when you knit the next one or (more likely) adjust the length. And this isn’t a pattern to knit just once… Trust me.Lightdays Very warm This hat is very warm, the fabric is soft and the fit is good, it's snug enough to stay on and in place without being uncomfortably tight. I think it looks better on than it does in the pictures and it's a higher quality product than I was expecting based on the images.
Important: Make sure your cast-on isn’t toooo tight. It has to stretch over a head, right? Cast on and ready to rib! After a few rounds, you can start to see your ribbing form! Just keep ribbing, ribbing, ribbing Join the stitches for knitting in the round, being careful not to twist the stitches and placing a marker at the beginning. On decrease rounds, you’ll need to work an ssk decrease on one side of each marker and a k2tog decrease on the other side. In between, you’ll continue in pattern, which means that you’ll keep the columns of knits and purls going – always knitting the knits and purling the purls. Here is a close up after I’ve worked one decrease round. The second stitch on the left hand needle is my SSK. Once you’ve worked a few decrease rounds, you can start to see the decrease lines appear on either side of the markers. Change to DPNs (or Magic Loop) when you must! Maybe you’ve heard that it’s dire and dangerous to skip the swatch, but this project might just be your moment to go for it. that big knit stitch — is in the middle of your three knit stitches if you are on the first/knitting row, and is the stitch you are slipping on the second/purl row. Now you know where you are and can keep on rolling!

Betsy Anne Winter warmer Love the hat and scarf bought them for the cold weather ideal,good value for money ,and the quality is good One other thing: the first stitch of the round, the one just after the marker, tends to be looser than the others, so give it an extra tug when you knit it. It’ll look better. dottyash Excellent quality Bought 2 for Christmas Presents. I liked them - soft and good quality. I chose grey being neutral for my friends but if I bought for myself I'd go for teal! Good price too. ribbing is just a little bit different. In this pattern, I think 3×1 is pretty cool because when you work a folded brim, you’ll get a different effect on the brim than you do on the body of the hat. Cool, eh? Bodhi is wearing a 3×1 ribbed hat in The Farmer’s Daughter Fibers Pishkun in Bison Princess. While 1×1 and 2×2 rib are reversible, 3×1 looks different on the ‘right’ and ‘wrong’ sides of the work. Single brim or folded brim? Hint: the right answer is ALWAYS folded brim!
It pretty much GUARANTEES that the hat will fit the recipient. Folding it up an inch more or less isn’t a big deal, so you’ve got more wiggle room with sizing.Cast on 120(132) stitches. This pattern is worked over a multiple of 4 stitches. If you want to adjust the size up or down, four stitches equal slightly more than half an inch in the pattern.
Great Deal
