It’s officially hat season and I wanted to create a very simple quick and easy knit hat pattern that is both beginner friendly and classic. It uses only basic knit stitches and would be perfect for those who want to try their first knit project or for those looking for a quick afternoon make!

The hat can be made literally in any worsted weight yarn you have at hand, which makes the hat a great stash buster project! I recommend you use either 100% wool or a soft wool blend to maintain the extra coziness!

Please note that sizes listed refer to true sizing. Also please note that the hat tends to stretch so if you want a more tight/snug fit consider working one size down. You can also work more rows before starting to decrease if you want a longer/slouchy version.
