Have you learned the basics of knitting but wish you could branch out into knitting in the round to make a hat without that dreaded seam to sew at the end? Do you want to be able to knit a hat without having to work with double-pointed needles? Then, this is the perfect pattern for you.

This pattern is worked in the round with worsted weight acrylic yarn and size US 8 12” circular needles. You won’t have to switch needles or worry about dealing with confusing double-pointed needles. It will be the easiest knit beanie you’ll ever make. Even the decrease is easy.

The yarn used is I Love This Yarn in color Painted Canyon. This yarn is not only the perfect weight for this pattern but also works up in this spectacular design. People will think you did some complicated colorwork but one skein will do all the colorwork for you! (No wonder why it’s called I Love This Yarn!)

The finished piece will be one size fits most adults, making this pattern perfect not only for practicing and perfecting your knitting skills but for making great gifts for loved ones.

For this pattern you’ll need approx 100-125 yards of a worsted weight acrylic yarn, size US 8 12” circular needles, 4 stitch markers of your choice, a pom pom maker (size of your choice) or a pre-made pom pom, tapstery needle, and scissors.
