I designed this DK weight hat as a versatile and unisex design. I love the basic construction and the cozy folded rib brim. I originally designed this to make hats for my 3 kids. I had so much fun making them, so I wrote up a version for myself and my husband as well. (I added a toddler size as a bonus). These continue to be our mostworn hats at our house. I love them and I can’t wait to make more.

The pattern comes with instructions for 3 sizes: toddler/small child, child/adult small, and adult large.

If you are unsure which size to make, I have listed the head circumference ranges for each size below as a reference.

For reference: the kids and I wear size 2 and my husband wears size 3. The kids ages are 8, 11, and 12.

Happy Knitting!
