Happy Hiking One Skein Hat

If just looking at beginner knitting patterns is enough to make you sick of simple ribbing, check out the Happy Hiking One Skein Hat. Its slightly different stitch pattern creates a vertical striping effect that cuts through a textured background, like a hiking trail through the woods. This simple effect is easily achieved even for beginners just learning how to knit a hat. And best of all, you'll need only one skein of super-bulky yarn to make this quick and easy hat. Whip one up today to guard against the season's growing chill. You'll be hitting the trails in no time.
