This very simple hat is made of just two rectangles, knitted in easy stocking stitch. There is no shaping, the tassels are optional and by varying the size, colours and embellishments you can make this hat for anyone in the family.

This is a great starter project, being simple to make but practical and fun too.

This kit will make a hat to fit an average child (lady, man), with a head circumference (measured around the widest part) of 44(55, 60)cm, 17¼(21½, 23½)ins finished size 40(50, 55)cm, 15¾(19¾, 21½)ins.

If you fancy making a hat in your own unique colourway, this pattern is also available as a Kool Aid dye-it-yourself kit with everything included, yarn, pattern, Kool Aid, instructions and even gloves, apron and a microwaveable box!
