One T Beanie (Hat) – Beginner + Knitting Kit

Pattern Level: Beginner+

Estimated Knit Time: Under 4 hours

Wool: Sumptuous; by The Woven Co

Needles: 5.5mm, knit on circulars with 60cm cable

Skills: Knit, cast on, cast off, knit, purl, knit in the round, knit 2 stitches together, a little sewing up

Pattern by: Michelle Joy (Stewart), written in a less traditional style to be less technical and give the crafter room to adjust the fit and style

Notes:
This pattern is not only quick, easy, but is really good on the range of head sizes too! It was designed for a larger man sized cranium, but suitable even for me with my incy wincy cranium… this is a one size suits many.
It is a good skill step up, using a broken rib; one round of plain knitting, and one round of knit and purl.  It makes an easy flowing pattern with just a little shaping on the crown.  This creates a softer / slouchy look at the back of the hat that will suit many (and fit larger amounts of hair)
