Janust hat is a beginner friendly, easy to knit two faced (hence the name) winter hat. It makes a very good last minute gift, as it takes only few hours to knit. Since it has two right sides, the chances that the reciever will like it are doubled. For the best outcome, use a yarn without knots.

To knit this hat you have to know or learn the following technics: cast on, knit, purl, purl two together, knit two together, slip a stitch purlwise with yarn in back, knit through the back loop.

Sizes: XS - S - M - L - XL - XXL (head circumference 53 - 55- 57 - 59 - 61 - 63 cm/ 21 - 22 - 22.8 - 23.6 - 24.4 - 25.2 in)

IF your gauge is off, try a size bigger/smaller needles or adjust the number of stitches keeping in mind that it has to be dividable with 4, if only the number of rows is off, you will be fine :-)

It’s important to keep your gauge relaxed because a tight gauge may ruin the shape of the hat
