3 easy beanies to knit in no time—hat knitting patterns suited even for beginners
An easy hat makes a perfect first knitting project because it knits up quickly. We’ve gathered three patterns that are sure to be stress-free.
1. Iina Kuustonen’s chunky hat
Actor Iina Kuustonen’s hat can be finished in just a couple of evenings, even if you haven’t knit much before. Two strands of yarn combine to create a fuzzy texture that keeps the beanie wonderfully warm. The surface is mostly knit in stockinette stitch, and the crown decreases are done simply by knitting two stitches together. Check out the instructions for Iina’s Love hat!
2. Hat with no purl stitches
Meiju Kallio designed this hat pattern for her boyfriend, who picked up knitting needles for the first time. This hat is knitted entirely in knit stitches, so beginners don’t have to worry about purling. Check out the pattern and knit an easy hat for him!
3. This hat’s trick is the contrasting fold
The silk-soft Lohtu hat is an accessory you’ll want to wear every day. This basic rib-knit hat features a contrasting folded edge, but of course you can also make it in one color. Check out the instructions for the Lohtu hat!
