4 gauges are included so that many yarns and machines may be used. It’s simple and plain but it’s a presentable hat that will keep someone warm and it truly may be made, including finishing, in only ten minutes! I timed it. Naturally your first attempt may not be quite that fast but a few hats down the line you’ll see. This is a super project for brand new beginners and for teaching children to knit. The hat may be fancied up with pompoms and other embellishments.

There is a video on my YouTube channel with the same title as this pattern that takes you all the way through knitting this hat. The stitch and row count in the video is only for one size and gauge but the process is exactly the same in all sizes and gauges.

Instructions for making the hat slouchy are included.
