How to Knit a Hat

If you’re wondering how to knit a hat, you’ve come to the right place!

In this post, I’ll show you how to knit a hat with a full step-by-step video tutorial. Even if you are a beginner knitter, you can make this hat.

Is knitting a hat hard?

Knitting a hat is much easier than you think. In fact, for the Easy-Peasy hat, there is no purling required. The hat is knitted in one continuous loop. You’ll start at the bottom and work around and around until you get to the top of the hat. There is a tiny bit of shaping for the crown and I’ll show you how to do every bit of it including joining a second skein of yarn and weaving in the yarn ends.

When you’re done, you’ll have a finished project you can wear (or gift) with pride! Your friends and family will be amazed at your skill.

How many stitches should I cast on for a hat?

For this hat, we are working with thick (super bulky weight yarn) and a large needle. You’ll only need to cast on 50 stitches to make this women’s hat.
