This fast and easy hat pattern was designed for and is included in my DK Kool Aid Dye Kit. Have fun creating your very own unique skein to adorn your head! Don’t want to dye your own? The pattern works well with any DK wool and is quick enough to be finished up in time for the weekend. The circular pattern is worked from the bottom up and includes a choice of four sizes to fit both young and old alike.

Gauge: 6 stitches per inch or 24 x 36 = 4 inches of stockinette.

Materials:
4mm / 6 US Double Pointed needles and circular needles (or the size that gets you closest to the gauge)
DK Yarn – Less than 65g (150yrds)
Stitch Marker
Darning needle

Sizes: 1-2yr (3-6yr, youth/small adult, adult)

Sizes are tough. Heads come in all different shapes and sizes and yarn of the same weight can have varying amounts of stretch. I have based my sizing on the heads in my family and friends. I’m no longer shy about whipping out my knitting and asking a random friend to try something on!
If using my gauge the size ranges should fit the following head circumferences

1-2yr – 17/18 inches (3-6yr – 19/20 inches, youth/small adult – 21/22 inches, adult – 23/24 inches)
