A simple, textured, close-fitting, unisex hat for the whole family. Knit in #3 Sport / DK or #4 Worsted weight yarn, with instructions for 10 different sizes, from Preemie to Adult Large.
Skill Level: Advanced Beginner
Because there are so many sizes included in this pattern, I recommend printing it out and using a highlighter or pen to mark all of the correct numbers for the size you are working before you begin.
Sizes (according to the wearer’s head circumference measurement):
Preemie: 12” circumference
0-6 Months: 13” circumference
6-12 Months: 14” circumference
12-18 Months: 16” circumference
Child Small: 17” circumference
Child Medium: 18” circumference
Child Large: 19 ¼” circumference
Adult Small: 21” circumference
Adult Medium: 22” circumference
Adult Large: 23” circumference
Hat is designed with negative ease, meaning the hat is a little smaller than the wearer’s head circumference, so it will stretch to comfortably stay on the head.
Actual Finished Size (circumference / hat length):
Preemie: 11” / 4 ½”
0-6 Months: 12” / 5”
6-12 Months: 13” / 5 ½”
12-18 Months: 14 ½” / 6 ¾”
Child Small: 15 ½” / 7 ¼”
Child Medium: 16 ½” / 7 ½”
Child Large: 17 ¾” / 7 ¾”
Adult Small: 19” / 8”
Adult Medium: 20” / 8 ¼”
Adult Large: 21 ¼” / 8 ½”
For Sport / DK weight version:
Needles:
US Size 4 circular knitting needles, 16” long and 32” long (for magic loop instead of double pointed needles) OR
US Size 4 double pointed needles, set of 5
NOTE: If working size Preemie or 0-6 Months, you must use double pointed needles, as a 16” circular needle will be too long. If you want to use a circular needle for those sizes, use a longer one with the magic loop method.

4 Locking or Split-Ring Stitch Markers (if using double pointed needles, only 1 stitch marker)
