Easy knit pattern for a fitted, slouchy or folded cuff beanie hat.
Ideal for beginners as a first circular needle project knitting in the round.

Sizing & Gauge
8 sizes now available from newborn baby to XL adult.

While standard aran gauge of 18x24 is suggested, exact gauge is not important (especially vertical row gauge) as the hat is quite stretchy & you knit it to a certain length. The hat is your swatch, there’s no need for test squares. :smile:

5mm is the pattern needle size as that’s standard for aran yarn, but I suggest using the needle size on the yarn ball band. I used smaller 4.5mm needles to knit the lilac hat as that’s the standard size for Lion Brand Feels Like Butta.

Yarn Amounts
You need 1 small 50g ball of yarn for baby sizes or 2 small balls/1 big ball to make a hat for a child or adult (with some leftover).
