Here is a great fitting hat for everyone in your life - pattern includes sizes from baby through adult. Create a custom “lid” that makes the perfect gift for friends or family members. You can whip up a baby hat or two in under an hour.

Like other nonstop knits hat patterns, this one uses two strands of worsted weight yarn on size 10.5 16” circular needles. Cast on and knit ribbed edge on size 9 needles, then change to larger needles for stockinette body and decreases on top. No seams!

For solid colors, knit from two balls of identical yarn. Change to stripe colors as you like, and create a hat in school or favorite sports team colors. Knit from one multi colored yarn and one solid color for a blended and uniquely colored hat.

This is a super basic that makes use of economical, easy care worsted yarn. Cotton/acrylic blends are great for spring, and wool/acrylics make great fall and winter hats. You can substitute a chunky yarn for the two strands of worsted, provided you get the required gauge.

Finished sizes: 6-18 months = 14” circumference, 6” high; toddler = 16” c, 7” h; youth 18” c, 8” h; adult = 20” c, 9” h
