‘Yano’ in Tagalog means ‘simple’ and this pattern is just that, simple! This is the perfect starter hat for a beginner knitter. No increasing or decreasing, just cast-on and go! Choose a squishy DK yarn and enjoy the ride!

This beanie is designed to use one full skein of DK yarn. It is knit in a tube, cinching the ends closed and folding one end inside the other. With enough to fold a brim, you have a simple, multilayer, warm hat.
