How to Knit a Hat: 3 Patterns for Adults

Knit hats make great projects for beginning knitters.  There’s a lot to learn from a knit hat, especially if you are new to knitting, but the projects are also manageable. Hats are short projects, contained to a set size that you can’t really add to.   The shape of the crown of a hat also makes for a perfect decrease tutorial—by the time you finish, your decrease stitch of choice will be mastered.  There’s a wonderfully practical side to hats as well.  You get to wear your project when it’s finished, after all!  When the winter weather rolls in, you can pull out your knit hat and relax, knowing that your ears will be protected by your handiwork.  These three knit hat patterns are simple, yet attractive.  If you are ready to learn how to knit a hat, these are great patterns to start with.
