Knit hat patterns

for new knitters

shouldn't be boring.

Knit hat patterns don’t have to be plain or boring for new knitters to achieve excellent results.

This knitted hat is brimming with colour and as long as you know the knitting basics you’ll achieve great results using only one colour per row (and of course we’re happy to answer any of your questions).

Frequently multicoloured hats require lots of cut ends to weave in later....yuk...but not this knitting pattern...only one end of each colour when you begin and when you finish...easy.

Knitted using a pair of standard 4mm (US6 - UK8) needles.

We’ve designed this pattern to fit a girl or woman’s average sized head circumference, you can adjust the depth to cater for long or short hair (instructions inside the pattern).

You'll have a limitless choice of colour combinations and a wide range of readily available, reasonably priced, yarn selections - either wool or acrylic.

Use wool if you want an extremely warm hat or acrylic if you want lighter weight, easier care. Choose your yarn from the 8ply/dk/3/light worsted range (depending on your location).

We chose chocolate brown/orange/yellow for the above hat. This hat was knitted within the "blue" range using mid blue/teal/lemon.
Which do you prefer ?
Other great combinations would be navy/red/white or rust/grass green/lemon...just pick your favourite colors and you"ll have a hat you adore and will wear again and again...
