Make your own custom fit sideways beanie OR pixie Hat in any weight yarn!

You’ve probably knit a Hat from the bottom up. Maybe even from the top down. But what happens when you rotate your knitting through 90 degrees? Discover the opportunities for creativity, fun and play that open up when you look at your knitting a little bit differently!

Sideways knit Hats are my favourite kind to design and the patterns for them are perennially popular. In this class, I welcome you into my working studio to demystify sideways Hat knitting, focusing on beanie style Hats. We’ll cover everything from the theory and maths that underpin a sideways Hat to the practical skills - provisional cast-on, short rows, grafting - you’ll need to bring a sideways Hat into being.

I’ll share the core of sideways Hat designs with knowledge gained from years of creating them. Having taught thousands of students in hundreds of in-person workshops about the theory and construction of Hats, I’ve crafted this course to give you the tools you need to confidently design and create sideways beanies. Join me and we’ll turn traditional Hat construction on its head!
