This hat uses a very simple stitch pattern that mixes ribbing and Seed Stitch, but looks much more interesting than either. Worked in a solid-color matte yarn, this makes a good basic men’s hat, but it’s sized for the whole family and can be completed in just a couple hours. This is a great first hat pattern!

This pattern is also available in the Textured Knit Hats Pattern Collection, along with the Bramble Hat and Bas Relief Hat, for $12.00.
