I’ve decided to revamp and add more sizes to one of the first knitting patterns I published on Ravelry. The pattern is called Easy Stripes Rolled Brim Beanie Hat as the yarn I used for the original hat pattern was self-striped.

A free version of this revamped knitting pattern can be found on my blog Sophie’s Knit Stuff in English only.

If you want to learn how to knit a beanie hat, this is an excellent basic pattern you should start with.

The curling nature of the stocking stitch gives this hat a naturally rolled brim that can be rolled up or down, depending on how you prefer wearing it. Because of this, it is necessary to add some extra length to the bottom of the hat; this is taken into account in this pattern.

Sizes:
Small size fits a 7 to 12 year-old child head size (47-49 cm around);
Medium size fits a teenager to medium adult head size (52-55 cm around);
Large size fits a large adult head size (56-58 cm around).

Difficulty: Easy once you know how to knit in the round.

Materials:
1 ball of Deramore Vintage Chunky - 50% merino wool, 50% acrylic (100g/153yds/140m per ball);
You can knit all 3 sizes out of 2 balls so it’s a pretty quick project and enough to make depending on the yarn you use.
This yarn is now discontinued but any chunky yarn with a mix of wool/acrylic that matches the gauge below will work.
6mm (US size 10) circular needle, length 60cm;
