Knit Hat Patterns
If you’ve never made a hat, the thought may seem overwhelming. But, it’s really not! If you know some knitting basics, you can make a hat.
First, you need a good idea of what size hat you would like to make. To ensure a snug fit, you will make the circumference of the hat smaller than the circumference of the one wearing the hat. Typically, a preemie hat will be around 12″, a baby hat 14-16″, a toddler/child hat will be 18″, teen or adult small 20″ and adult large 22″. Of course your hat can be whatever circumference fits you!

LoveLifeYarn says it best “Superwash wool, wool blends, and premium acrylic yarns are all good choices for hats that can be laundered. Acrylics are good because they hold up extremely well to repeated washings, but some people aren’t crazy about the way they breathe (or don’t)”
Typically for a hat you will only need one skein of yarn.
