Knitbot Simple Hat
I originally designed this simple hat pattern as part of a knit-a-long demonstrating how to knit a properly fitting hat.
The key, as with all knitting, is to be sure you first knit a gauge swatch. Once you’re sure you are getting gauge, choose a circumference that is 0–2” / 0–5 cm smaller than your actual head circumference. Negative ease will ensure a properly fitting hat!
The original individual pattern is still available for purchase and download here!
A version of this pattern is also available as part of the book Home & Away: Knits for Everyday Adventures.
Both patterns includes instructions for hats in five sizes at three different gauges!
