Never learned
how to knit?
If you have never
learned how to knit, you might want to start with, "How
to Knit a Scarf" which is our simplest project for learning how to
knit. "How to Knit a Hat" is still simple enough for a beginner but
involves learning additional knitting basics such as: purl, and ribbing.

Instructions
for Knitting a Hat:
-
Using No. 8 needles,
Cast on 87 stitches onto your knitting needle. (Learn
how to "cast on" Click Here)
-
You must know
how to do both knit and purl stitches to continue.
-
Work in
1 x 1 rib until your work measures 1 inch long. (Learn
how to do ribbing or "rib" Click Here)
-
Change to
No. 9 needles and proceed as follows. (To change needles simply pick up
one No. 9 needle and proceed with the next row onto the number 9 needle.
After that row is complete, pick up the other No. 9 needle and proceed
with both No. 9 needles.)
-
Row 1. Knit
87 stitches
-
Row 2. Purl
87 stitches
-
1st and 2nd Rows
set pattern.
-
Continue in pattern
for 6 inches ending with a "purl" row.
-
To shape the
top of the hat;
-
Row 1.
*Knit 3 stitches, then Knit 3 stitches together, (To do this, simply do
a knit stitch but instead of sliding your right needle under only one of
the stitches on the left needle, slide the right needle through three stitches
and knit them as you would have done with the one.) Start at * again
and continue across row.
-
Row 2.
Purl
-
Continue 1st
and 2nd rows until there are only 7 stitches left on your needle. (If that
number doesn't come out exactly and is 6 or 8 etc.. that is fine.)
-
To finish hat;
-
Measure about
15 inches of yarn from your last stitch and cut yarn.
-
Thread the large
yarn needle with the yarn.
-
Pull the knitting
needle out of the last 7 stitches.
-
Send the yarn
needle through the 7 stitch loops.
-
Pull the yarn
until you can no longer pull and the last stitch loops disappear into what
makes the top of the hat.
-
Fold the hat,
right sides together and bottom edges even.
-
Start sewing
the hat edges together with the same needle and yarn from the top of the
hat down to the bottom edge.
-
Tie a secure
knot when you reach the bottom edge.
-
Turn the hat
right side out.
Done!
Great project to knit for anyone
and everyone in your family!
Enjoy your new hat on a cold
fall or winter day.
