OVERVIEW
Whether you call it a beanie, a cap, a toque or a hat, everyone needs a cozy knit head covering when winter winds howl.

This classic hat is knit in the round, with a fold-up ribbed border and a neatly rounded crown. While this is a great introduction to knitting in the round for a beginner, this is also a pattern you can turn to again and
again.

Once you’re comfortable with the basic construction, use this pattern as a blank canvas for your own creative expression. Use your stash of leftovers to make a striped hat. Try different stitch patterns. Add a pompom or a tassel to the top. The possibilities are endless.
