Sometimes the simplest patterns yield the best results. If you’re in a pinch and you need something quick, but you’re at a loss in terms of pattern ideas, you can keep it simple. Here’s a recipe for a super duper quick hat pattern that you can whip in just a few hours.

This super duper quick hat pattern is ideal for using leftovers, advent calendar yarns, or for that gorgeous single skein you don’t know what to use for. Let the yarn speak: choose a high quality fingering yarn that will showcase this hat.

This hat pattern is offered in five different sizes using fingering weight yarn held triple, with a gauge of 4.25 stitches per inch. This pattern includes a 1x1 ribbing, followed by stockinette stitch.

This pattern includes 2 fun options of finishing, in addition to the regular length beanie: the double folded brim, and the side braid.
