This pattern is very quick and easy to knit and would be a great choice for beginners knitting a hat for the first time.

The brim stands out in seed stitch and the rest of the hat is worked in stocking stitch. The super chunky yarn knits up really quickly so this is a perfect project for a last minute gift or if you suddenly realise you really need a warm hat!

Knit in the round on dpns or circular needles
