If you just took Learn to Knit and are looking to expand your toolkit of skills, this beginner hat pattern is for you! If you can cast on, knit, and purl, this pattern will help you create your first hat. The pattern includes photo instructions for joining and knitting in the round, knitting on double pointed needles, and making knit two together (k2tog) and slip slip knit (ssk) decreases.
