This hat is a fast knitting project! 

 I wanted to make a hat with a big texture, and I chose a super bulky yarn for it: Andes (drops). Choose another super bulky yarn if you like (10st/10 cm)! I had  a waffle pattern in mind, which looks to have layers and will be warm for the winter season. It’s easy to knit too when you have the waffle-pattern printed in your mind! You are not so dependent on the measuring gauge. If it’ll be a little too narrow, you can always add a cuff at the bottom.

The idea is to knit a rectangular piece of 21 cm wide and 40 cm long - or as far as you want around your head. Check around your own head, to get the best fit. It’s good if it’s a little tight so that the yarn can stretch and the hat will fit perfectly after a while.

Use 50 gram Andes (drops), size 8 mm and 7 mm.

I made my hat orange, what’s your choise?
