This is a simple and basic hat that fits most heads and can be worn two ways. It is a great stashbuster and a beginner friendly pattern! Many find that its the perfect simple pattern to knit again and again ;)

It is meant to have negative ease for a form fitting shape. The sizes are indicated for approximately 50 (54cm) 58cm (62 cm) head circumferences respectively.

Finished measurements:
Width: 20 (22) 25 (27) cm
Length: 25 (26) 27 (28) cm when unfolded
Gauge: 22 stitches per 10 cm in stockinette
Suggested needles: 3.5 mm circular needles, 40 cm long cord to knit in the round. (You will need to switch to magic loop or dpns for the last decreases.) You may want to switch to larger/smaller needles if your gauge is tighter/looser.
Other tools: 5 stitch markers and a tapestry needle to weave in ends.

Yarns: fingering or sport weight yarn, i recomend natural soft fibers. What is important is that you get gauge.
