This is the Perfect hat for a new knitter. Choose your perfect yarn and learn to knit in the round, use both circular and double point needles, read a pattern and create a darn cute hat, for you or someone you love. How perfect is that?

This pattern looks great in all kinds of worsted weight yarns, such as Cascade 220, Noro, Manos del Uraguay, Malabrigo, alpacas and cottons. It’s also very customizable. Make your ribbing longer, or the the hat itself longer before the decreases.

I’ve based a very popular hat class on this pattern. It’s an excellent second class after beginning knitting. The student increases confidence using new techniques that will be used in many other projects.
