You’ve learned to knit and purl? This is the project for you!

Many new knitters knit a scarf as their first project, which is all good and dandy until you’ve been knitting in garter stitch for 68” and you want to hang up your needles forever.

There’s a better way, and that’s a hat in the round.

The New Knitter Hat begins with a long-tail cast on, has a few inches of 1x1 ribbing, and then stockinette in the round and no crown shaping, which leads to a slouchier fit, but an extremely rewarding and useful first project.

Skills:
-Long Tail Cast On
-Knit
-Purl
-Knitting in the round
