My Pandemic Knit Hat Pattern

11/29/2020

 

Knitting Is My Therapy

Earlier pandemic, I was outside A LOT. Now that it's colder, and darker, and Minnesota is in another round of closing entertainment venues (specifically roller skating rinks), I'm knitting more again. If you're interested, here is my go-to knit hat pattern, complete with supplies lists and a few video tutorials on techniques. Here we go!

Supplies Needed

  • Size 10 circular knitting needles (16 inch) 
  • Knitting markers
  • 4, double pointed bamboo needles, size 10 (7 inch) 
  • A skein of worsted weight yarn. If anyone has yarn laying around, it's probably this. Here are a few that I’ve used in the past.
    • Caron Simply Soft Paints 
    • Red Heart Super Saver
    • Vanna’s Choice 
    • Caron One Pound Yarn (if you want to make a bijillion hats in the same color): 

Directions

  1. Using circular knitting needles, cast on 73 stitches
  2. Join the first and last stitch. Place marker.
  3. For 6 rows, knit one and purl one across each row to create ribbing.
  4. Starting on row 7, knit every row until it measures 6.5 inches from the bottom of the ribbing.
  5. Reduce as follows:
  6. Knit 7, knit 2 together; repeat across the row.
  7. Knit 6, knit 2 together; repeat across the row.
  8. Knit 5, knit 2 together; repeat across the row. Switch to double pointed needles.
  9. Knit 4, knit 2 together; repeat across the row.
  10. Knit 3, knit 2 together; repeat across the row.
  11. Knit 2, knit 2 together; repeat across the row.
  12. Knit 1, knit 2 together; repeat across the row.
  13. Knit 2 together; repeat across the row.
  14. Pull the thread through the remaining loops. Tie of the top of the hat.
  15. Sew in the ends.
