Quick & Easy Knitted Hat
Pattern & Photo Courtesy of Days of Yarning
-
MATERIALS:
- 9" circular needles and 5 double pointed needles with the indicated size for the yarn used (you can use only the DPNs if you wish, or if the hat is too small for the 9" circular needles)
- 1 50g skein of yarn
- Tapestry Needle
Cast on a number of stictches multiple of 4 and knit 6 rows 2/2 ribbing in the round.
Knit in the round until desired length.
Distribute the stitches on DPNs so that you have an even number of stitches in each needle and knit 2 stitches together to the end of row. You now have half the stitches that you casted on.
Knit 1 row.
If necessary, distribute the stitches by the needles so that you have an even number of stitches in each needle.
Knit 2 stitches together to the end of row. You now have a quarter of the number of stitches you casted on.
Knit 1 row and cut the yarn, leaving about 6".
With a tapestry needle, pass the yarn trough each stitch, take them off the needles and pull the yarn to close the top of the hat.
Weave in ends.
