I wrote this very basic pattern many years ago for a shop freebie & couldn’t resist trying it for this yarn, Any bulky, 3-3.5 st per inch yarn will work & it’s written in 4 sizes, the smallest will work for larger child’s sizes up to XL adult. This hat took me less than 2 hours to make (even in the x-large size), might make a good charity or gift knit. So here’s yet another free, quick, easy, basic bulky hat pattern… (for now it’s exclusively a free ravelry download, should be available on my website soon. Note:For close-fit beanie style knit a 4” deep crown, for sacque style as shown knit a 5.5-6” deep crown, as stated in pattern.
