This hat’s squishy texture is so much fun to knit that you will want to cast on this pattern again and again. Four sizes let you knit for the whole family - and it knits up fast with Aran-weight yarn and an easy slip-stitch pattern.

Looks great with or without a pompom. And with a design that looks good on both men and women, the Pebble Street Hat is perfect for mother-daughter or boyfriend-girlfriend sets.

Difficulty: Beginner

Skills: Knit, purl, and slipped stitches; working in the round; kfb and k2tog.

Yarn selection: The texture of this hat lets a solid-colored yarn shine, but is also simple enough to work with variegated or hand-painted yarn. Use neutrals for a classic look or go bold with bright rainbow colors - they all work well with this pattern.

Sizes: The pattern includes instruction for four sizes.
