The Lianna Hat was designed as a quick and easy knit that includes a few simple rows of lace mesh created with yarn overs and slipped stitches for a bit of interest.

This is a great hat pattern for an adventurous beginner or anyone looking for a fun, fast project.

Skills required: working in the round, knit through back loop, yarn over, slip stitch

Note about size: one size fits most average adults up to 22-23 inches, however this is a snug fitting, non-slouchy hat when knit to gauge.

Finished hat circumference is approx.16.5 inches unblocked/unstretched, however you can easily make this hat larger by going up 1 or 2 needle sizes if desired or by casting on extra stitches for a larger circumference.

To make hat longer / slouchy, you can add extra rows of stockinette between the pattern repeat sections and before the crown decreases.
