How To Knit A Hat – Step By Step

1. Cast on and knit the brim of the hat.

   Cast on 72 sts
   Row 1: (RS) – P1, K2 – rep to the end of the row.
   Row 2: (WS) – P2, K1 – rep to the end of the row.
   Rep rows 1 and 2 until the piece measures 3 inches from the cast-on edge, ending with a WS row.

2. Knit the main body of the hat.

   Row 1: (RS) – K1, P2 – rep to the end of the row.
   Row 2: (WS) – K2, P1 – rep to the end of the row.
   Rep rows 1 and 2 until you have worked 10 inches from the cast-on edge, ending with a WS row.

3. Decrease the top of the hat.

   Row 1: K1, P2tog – rep to the end of the row.
   Row 2: K1, P1 – rep to the end of the row.
   Row 3: K2tog – rep to the end of the row.
   Row 4: Purl – rep to the end of the row.
   Row 5: K2tog – rep to the end of the row.
   Row 6: Purl – rep to the end of the row.
   Cut yarn leaving a tail of around 15 inches.
   Thread through the rem sts and pull up tight.

4. Seam the beanie using the mattress stitch.

   The last step is seaming the two edges of the beanie together.
   There is a video tutorial on my YouTube channel here to show you how to do this.
   I used a seaming technique called the mattress stitch.
   This allows you to create an invisible seam in your knitting so you don’t see where the edges meet.
   To do this you:
   1. Place the edges together – line them up.
   2. Start at the top of the hat, with the right sides facing you.
   3. Thread your needle and secure the top of the hat first with a stitch.
   4. Then start to push the needle through the first stitch on one side of the fabric edge.

5. Continue to seam using the mattress stitch.

   5. Then move over to the other side and push your needle through the first stitch.
   6. Pull them together and continue to seam picking up an edge stitch on one side and again on the other as you go.
   7. You can pick up stitches every one bar or two bars on the edges – this is up to you. I generally pick up every 2 bars.
   8. Just be careful that what you do to one side of the knitting should also be done on the other side to keep them even.

6. Seaming the brim of the hat.

   9. When you come to the brim of the hat, you need to turn this over – so the right sides are facing you to seam.
   10. This is so you get an invisible seam on the right sides of the knitted fabric.
   11. When you have finished seaming, secure your yarn on the wrong side and weave in any loose ends.
   12. Your hat is now ready to wear.

How to Knit a Hat Video Tutorial

For a step-by-step walkthrough of this hat pattern, watch the video tutorial below. It goes through the entire Blank Slate Hat pattern from beginning to end.

The video also covers three ways to embellish the hat so that it’s no longer a “blank slate” but a unique expression of your taste and personality.

Instructions

(To download the pattern instructions as a PDF, scroll to the bottom of the page)

Cast on 49 sts with long tail cast on

Row 1 (WS): *K1, P1; repeat from * to last stitch, K1

Row 2 (RS): P1, *K1, P1; repeat from * to end of row

Repeat Rows 1-2 until piece measures 3”. End having worked Row 1.

Increase Row (RS): K1, KFB, knit to end of row (50 sts)

Work in Stockinette Stitch as follows:

Row 1 (WS): purl all stitches

Row 2 (RS): knit all stitches

Repeat Rows 1-2 until piece measures 6” from cast on edge. End having worked Row 1.

Decrease Rows:

Row 1 (RS): *K3, K2tog; repeat from * to end of row (40 sts)

Row 2 and all even rows (WS): purl all stitches

Row 3 (RS): *K2, K2tog; repeat from * to end or row (30 sts)

Row 5 (RS): *K1, K2tog; repeat from * to end of row (20 sts)

Row 7 (RS): *K2tog; repeat from * to end of row (10 sts)

With working yarn, measure out a length of yarn that’s three times the length of the seam. Cut the yarn loose.

Thread the yarn onto a tapestry needle and seam the hat together with mattress stitch. Weave in ends.

Pom Pom

Create a pom pom with a pom pom tracer that’s between 2.5 and 3”.

Secure the pom pom to the top of the hat. Weave in ends.

Abbreviations:
* *: repeat instructions between asterisks the number of times indicated
K: knit
K2tog: knit two stitches together
KFB: knit into the front and back of the stitch
P: purl
RS: right side of knitting
WS: wrong side of knitting

Embellishing the Hat

So, you’ve learned how to knit a hat, and now you want to add some personality to it. Great!

I have three easy ideas for jazzing up the blank slate hat. Let’s get into them.

1. Color Blocking

Color blocking is a fun way to mix big blocks of colors together – hence the name “color blocking.”

Some great color combinations are complimentary colors. These are colors that sit opposite to each other on the color wheel. These include red and green; orange and blue; and purple and yellow.

For a subtle color block look, you can mix different shades of the same color. For instance, pink and red and pastel blue and dark blue are satisfying combinations.

Look for more color inspiration from your favorite sports team, country’s flag or Hogwarts House!

To color block the Blank Slate Hat, choose two colors to work with – let’s call them color A and color B. (To view this in action, watch the video above and skip to 40:42 for color blocking)

Knit the hat as normal with color A. When you reach the decrease rows, switch to color B:

Insert the right needle into the first stitch of decrease Row 1. Instead of using color A to knit, pick up color B, wrap it around the right needle and pull the yarn through the first stitch.

You’ve now knit one stitch in color B! Continue knitting decrease row 1 with color B.

After knitting decrease row 1, cut off color A, leaving a 5″ tail. You can later weave the tail into the knitting. Continue knitting the rest of the hat with color B. And that’s it!

2. DIY Marled Yarn

Making your own marled yarn is a lot easier than it seems.

All you need is some sewing thread. For my marled hat, I held three strands of cotton sewing thread together with my yarn, creating a kind of franken-yarn.

Then, I knit the entire Blank Slate Hat with my franken-yarn. That’s it! To view this in action, watch the video above and skip to 43:07.

I’m holding three strands of sewing thread together because I find that it makes a bolder marled yarn. However, experiment to see how many threads you need to get the look you want.

3. Jewels & Appliques

A great way to add shine and drama to your new hat is by attaching appliques and jewels.

For jewels, I recommend finding ones that allow you to sew them to the hat. They should have two small holes that you can stick a sewing needle into.

This allows you the flexibility to play around with the jewel’s placement. It also means you don’t have to glue the jewels onto your hat (primal scream!) 

To view this in action, watch the video above and skip to 44:36 for jewels and appliques.

To attach an applique, simple find the right placement on your hat and sew the applique in place with a sewing needle and thread.

And that’s a wrap on the Blank Slate Hat! If you knit this hat, please tag me on Instagram @sheepandstitch. (I would love to see your hat!) If you have a Ravelry account, add your hat to the Blank Slate Hat project page here.

How to knit a hat with knitting needles: description, diagrams, master class

With the onset of cold weather, you cannot do without a warm hat. But what if there is no suitable option in stores? Try to link!

We will tell you how to knit a stylish hat with knitting needles. It doesn’t matter if you don’t know how to knit: in the article you will find simple patterns that a novice craftswoman can handle. Experienced knitters will also have something to learn!

Hat preparation

Before you start knitting a headdress, you need to determine the volume of the head in order to dial the desired number of loops. Plus, each has its own knitting density, which also affects the length of the row. In order not to miscalculate with the size of the future hat, tie a small canvas.

Count how many loops are in one centimeter of the sample. Measure the circumference of your head and multiply it by the number of loops. You will get a more or less accurate number of stitches for the base row.

One more thing: to make it easier to read the descriptions for the circuits, we use symbols. In principle, these are generally accepted abbreviations that can be found in instructions on other sites.

Stitches and types of knitting in the description are indicated as follows:

• BP - basic;
• LP - front;
• IP - purl;
• KP - edge;
• RS - front side;
• IS - wrong side;
• LG - facial surface;
• IG - wrong side.

In the diagrams they are designated as follows:

If the description does not say what yarn and knitting needles to take, use at your discretion. The advantage of the creative process is that it can be customized.

Knitting techniques

On circular needles . Dial the required number of loops. Then choose one of the knitting options:

• connect the chain by threading the extreme loops into each other;
• knit the fabric and then sew.

The second option is suitable for items that do not fit on regular needles, although it is rarely used for hats. The length of the fabric for the headdress in exceptional cases exceeds the size of the knitting needles. In both methods, do not forget about reducing the number of loops in the rows closer to the crown of the cap. As a rule, these instructions are given in the instructions.

Garter stitch. Pick up the base and start knitting rows. The first loop is not knitted, then we go to the last loop. We knit the last one as an IP. To the top, we also reduce the number of loops in a row. We sew the product with a needle. If you knit in this way in a circle, then you do not have to sew a hat. It will turn out more even and accurate.

stockinette. It differs from the previous method in structure. The first loop is also removed, and the last is always purl. Rows alternate LP / PI. As a result, we get LS and IS, on which a pattern is formed.

Five spokes. The technique is similar to knitting with circular needles. We “scatter” the loops of the base row into 4 rods. You should get the same number of loops on each rod. Knitting has the shape of a square. With the fifth knitting needle we knit a pattern according to the scheme or instructions.

Hat for beginners

The coarse knit is the best for the first project. Having adapted, this hat can be knitted in an evening. From the materials you need straight knitting needles No. 10, yarn 100 g (75 meters). You can wind any in several threads or use different colors.

Instructions: dial 32 BP + 2 CP. Knit 12 rows of LP, then decrease 2 rows with a bunch together. There are 16 loops left. We knit one row of PI, after which we reduce the number of loops by another 2. When 8 loops remain, we stretch the working thread through them and tighten. The hat is almost ready, it remains to make a pompom.

To do this, hold the end of the thread between your fingers, wind the second end around them. The more skeins, the more magnificent the pom-pom will be. We cut off the thread, tighten it with the tip that was between the fingers. Strengthen, cut off the excess. Sew the pompom to the hat.

We knit women's hats: instructions of varying complexity

Large knit cap

You can knit in any way that is described at the beginning, but the alternation of LP and PI looks beautiful.

Standard start: pick up a chain of BP, knit to the desired height. Then we go in descending order - knit every 5 and 6 loops. Then we make a row according to the drawing, and then we remove all the IP. To do this, knit the IP together with the LP.

Continue following the pattern, then close the top of the hat. To do this, you need to thread one loop into another. It is most convenient to assemble the product by crocheting.

Elegant earflaps

The peculiarity of earflaps is that knitting starts from the ears. We collect 6 BP on knitting needles No. 4, we knit LP. Every two rows we increase the number of loops by one on the sides. Repeat this sequence 6 times.

Then we assemble the hat. To do this, we string the loops of the ears, then we collect the BP for the front and back of the cap. In the process of knitting, we will get two parts that will join with a seam as the back part gradually expands. As a result, we add a loop, knitting ear loops in any way.

Next, you need to dial 20 more loops for the front, knit the second ear and add one more loop. We continue with the selected knitting. Add a pattern to the hat if you have already gained experience in knitting.

Inc 1 x 2 and 1 x 3 on both edges. This is to increase the back piece. You will get 8 rows.

Then we go uphill, knit 16 rows. Next, we narrow the product: 1KP-5LP are tied into 2 loops (we make a tilt to the right) + 2LP + 2 loops together (tilt to the left) + 5LP - repeat 1KP. The decrease is repeated 4 times after 2 rows. When there are few loops left, pull them off and sew the edges of the hat.

It remains to make a lapel. Dial 20 BP and knit the fabric of the LG of the desired height. Attach the lapel by closing the loops.

Lapel hats

Threads and knitting needles are selected according to the hat season. This scheme is suitable for winter and autumn models. We recruit BP multiples of 4 + 2 CP. We knit the elastic band, alternating rows of 2 LP and 2 PI, until the desired height is obtained.

Then we decrease the knitting. To do this, we knit 2 LPs together, and leave the KP unknitted. Let's move on to the drawing. We knit 2 adjacent loops as one LP. We complete the product next to the IP. We fix the end of the thread. You can sew on a pom-pom.

Children's hats

What workshop without children's hats? We offer three instructions of varying difficulty.

Bow hat

Take any yarn you like and use circular needles. They are selected according to the thickness of the thread and the density of knitting.

Instructions: dial the required number of PSUs and collect them in a ring. Knit 5-6 rows only PI. Then, to the required height, we knit the LG product, knitting only the LP. It will take few rows to decrease, so we knit a hat to the desired depth.

The product is closed by reducing the number of loops every other row. First, every 3 loops with a slope to the right and left to the end of the row. Then we knit a row of LP without reducing the number of loops. After we reduce the row by 2 loops, we knit a row of LP.

As you shorten the loops, you can use double needles for convenience. Plus, no holes will appear between the loops. We decrease the row through the loop, then again we knit a row of LP. When there are few loops left, we transfer the working thread through them and tighten. We fix the thread from the inside.

A fur pom-pom can be sewn onto the cap. The bow is easy to knit. Knit a small canvas with a garter stitch, knitting the LP, except for the side ones. The height and length of the bow depends on the number of rows and their length. When the canvas is ready, we tie it in the middle with threads. A cute hat for a girl is ready.

Drawstring baby hat

Drawstring hat is a great option for your baby in the winter season. For a hat, you need 100 g of yarn, stocking knitting needles No. 3, 4, 5, straight knitting needles No. 3. We knit LP with a thread in two additions.

Instructions: Knitting starts with ties. We collect 5 BP on straight knitting needles and knit the IG, adding a crochet 11 times in each 2nd row, 1 loop on both sides. It turns out about 27 loops. We knit the second ear like this.

Next, on needles No. 3 loops of the right ear, 14 loops of the back and loops of the left ear. We knit the IG in rotary rows. We knit 10 rows, while adding 1 loop on the sides. We turn to knitting needles No. 4, 5 and knit 18 rows according to the scheme:

Cast on 18 sts for the front and bind off in a circle. We knit 6 rows with a pattern on knitting needles No. 4, 5, of which the first 2 we knit IG. We pass to the knitting needles No. 4, we knit 20 circular rows. We turn to knitting needles No. 3, we knit 12 rows.

After that, we begin the descent to the crown. We knit together every 2 PI between the braids. Then through the row we knit 3 LP of each braid together with the front. Next, through the row, we knit each LP and PI together with the front.

Pull off the remaining loops. We tie the hat with single crochets. We sew a button on one ear, a hinged loop on the second.

Hat with pompom

Any warm yarn that does not itch is suitable for this model. We collect the base row according to the girth of the head, we knit a regular elastic band by alternating LP and PI.

Then we move on to the pattern. The rapport consists of only 6 loops, and the height is 1 row. We knit 2 PIs, and we knit the next 2 LP, but at the same time we change the order. That is, you need to start the knitting needle behind the 1st loop and knit the 2nd front. Loops do not drop.

Then knit the 1st st and slip the knitted sts off the left needle. We repeat the rapport until the end of the row. Knit the next rows in the same way to the desired height. We close the crown by knitting in a row of 2 loops in the LP. We knit the next row simply LP.

Alternate these rows until few stitches remain. We cut the thread and collect everything together. The hat is ready! Sew on a pompom.

8 Beanie suitable for ages 5 and 7, size a) 52 b) 54.

How to determine the size of a hat and snood

To find out the size of a hat, you need to take a centimeter and measure: OG (head circumference) and SH (cap height). OG is measured from the forehead, through the ears and under the back of the head. We get the VS like this: divide the OG by 3 + 3 cm = we got a hat of the height that will cover the ears.

Cast on 4-5 cm less than the circumference of the head to ensure that the cap fits snugly around the head.

Scored at the beginning of the desired number of pet. and knit as many rows until the ears are closed. The height of the cap (SH), taking into account the lapel, is always 40% of the head circumference (OH).

For example, OD = 46 cm, so WS = 46*40%=18.4 cm. You can knit above, you can’t knit below. If the cap has a lapel, it is better to knit a little more rows, because the lapel can always be tucked higher.

Children's snood in one turn has dimensions width = (OG) head circumference - 2-3 cm, height = ½ width.

The size of the children's hat according to the age of the child:

Abbreviations: front - faces. 2 together with a tilt to the left - 2 BM to the left, 2 together with a tilt to the right - 2 BM to the right.

Garter stitch snood

We know that the dimensions of the snood are: width = OG - 2-3 cm, height - ½ of the width.

Snood a) width (circumference) - 44/47 cm, height - 22-23 cm and b) 47/50 cm, height - 23-25 ​​cm.

Snood = a) width - 44 cm, height - 22 cm and b) width 47 cm, height 23 cm.

Our density = 20 pets. / 10 cm.

On circular needle size 4 mm. Cast on a) 44 cm = 88 sts. + 1 pet. to connect in a circle. All odd rows - persons, all even - out. Run 22 cm in height and close all p.

Cast on for size b) 47 cm = 94 sts. + 1 p. for connection in kr. Run 23-25 ​​cm in height and close all stitches.

It remains to cut out and sew the fleece lining into the hat.

Hat with ears Kitty for a girl from 6 months to 5 years

Cute hat Cat with cute ears will definitely please the child. The hat is knitted on circular needles in the round. In addition to it, we knit a snood in one turn.

Cap sizes: a) 44/46; b) 46/48; c) 48/50; d) 50/52 cm = 6 months / 1-2 years / 3 years / 4-5 years.

Snood dimensions: width - OG - 2 cm, height - ½ of the width.

a) width 44 cm, height 22 cm; b) width 46, height 23; c) width 48, height 24; d) 50, 25.

For a perfect fit, it will be useful to tie a “probe” 10/10 cm faces. stitch, measure the sample with a ruler = find out how many loops are in 1 cm. By multiplying this number by the OG, you will get the exact number of loops that are needed. The number must be even.

What you need for a hat Cat:

• Baby wool XL yarn, manufacturer: Gazzal (Composition: 40% wool, 20% cashmere PA, 40% polyacryl, 50 gr. / 105 m.) for a cap - 2/3 / 3/3 skein. + 1 skein per snood.
• Straight needles 3 or 3.5 mm.
• Circular needles 3.5 mm.
• Markers.

Gauge: 20 p. / 30 p. \u003d 10 / 10 cm, front stitch, knitting needles 3.5 mm thick. If you want to keep within this density, but you get more or fewer loops, either take this yarn in 2 threads, or change the thickness of the knitting needles. If you want to sew a lining into a hat, make the hat a size larger than necessary!

Pattern “Rice”:

1. The main one is the front surface , in a circle with one front.
