Say hello to Aideen (light), the epitome of knitting bliss! Unleash your creativity with our beginner-friendly hat knitting pattern that elevates cosy dreams to chic reality. Aideen (light) caters to the entire family, ensuring warmth and style from baby to large adult sizes.
Immerse yourself in the allure of a “potato chippy” project – Aideen’s simple ribbed texture makes it the perfect companion for your favourite show or a thrilling novel. Whether you’re a beginner or an experienced knitter, this textured beanie provides a smooth knitting experience.
Worked from the bottom up, Aideen (light) is a versatile hat pattern allows you to craft a perfectly fitting hat seamlessly in the round. The construction involves starting with the brim, progressing to the body, and culminating with shaping the crown. As you approach the final stages of the crown, you’ll need to switch from using 16” / 40 cm circular needles to either the magic loop method or double-pointed needles, depending on your preference for tackling smaller circumferences.
A notable feature of this hat pattern is its versatility in accommodating different sizes. For the pattern motif and crown, there are both written directions and charts available. After casting on, you’ll work independently with your preferred directions.
