This pattern includes directions for a basic hat, in 5 different sizes (Baby to Large Adult) and 3 different weights of yarn (DK, Worsted, and Bulky). A good basic go-to pattern. Use it as is, or change it as you like - change to a rolled edge, or 2x2 ribbing, make it longer before decreasing for a slouchy version, add stripes, you name it!
