If you’ve never knit a hat before, this is the pattern to start with. Worked from side to side in one flat piece using only the knit stitch, it comes together without a single purl row, then seams up into a simple, cozy beanie with an optional fold-over brim. It’s a genuinely easy/beginner knitting pattern in worsted yarn, sized for everyone from a newborn to a full-grown adult, so it doubles as a great first-hat project and a reliable go-to for gifting.
