The Cottage Cap is a great hat knitting pattern for beginners, since it’s just knitting and purling and nothing tricky. It’s a fun knit for a more experienced knitter, too. Knit it in a solid color, or add stripes for a funky look on this mistake rib hat.

Who it’s for: Level 1-2, First Stitches to Finding Your Rhythm. If you can knit and purl and you’re still looking things up, you have what you need. The one new thing is working a mistake rib hat in the round on a circular needle and double-pointed needles. Stuck? Our Knitting Knowledge tutorials are here to help.
