This simple pattern is an easy knit for anyone looking for a basic gender-neutral hat. It allows for customization with a brim that can either fold or not, and with three size options. The pattern will help you to master three different common decreases: K2tog, SSK, and CDD. You may also be introduced to knitting in the round on a couple of different types of needles, as you move from the hat body to the crown and the circumference gets smaller.
