Hat for All Ages
Although this yarn is labeled “DK”, it’s more like fingering yarn in my opinion. Be sure to check your gauge using K1, P1 rib stitch.
Sample in photo shows color 405 “Urban”.
Finished Measurements (unstretched):
12 inches 30.5 cm in circumference x 8.5 inches 21.6 cm high
Cap is knit from the bottom to the top in the round.
For a baby or young child, turn back the brim. An older child or adult may wear this as a stocking cap with the brim down. It’s very stretchy! If an adult or teen wishes to wear the hat with the brim turned back, just add enough rows at the beginning to measure an additional 2 - 3 inches.
That’s my grandnephew, Hayden in the photo with his dad, Jesse. I’m wearing Hayden’s hat in the photos below, and my head measures 23.5 inches!
I used this pattern for Jesse’s hat with much heavier yarn:
