Looking for the easiest knit hat pattern? This hat is knit flat on two needles, so no circular or double pointed needles required!

A lot of people are intimidated by knitting in the round. I know I was for a long time! That’s why I created the Easiest Ever Knit Hat pattern – so you can knit with two straight needles and still knit hats!

This hat can easily be adjusted because of the nature of how it is made. You can also choose to wear it with the brim down or turned up.

The brim is 7 sts and could be kept the same for any size. The body of the hat is simple Stockinette and you can adjust the height with this part of the hat.

The number of stitches you cast on is the height of the hat. I wanted my hat to be around 8-8.5″ tall after I cinched it closed, so I worked the number of stitches needed (use the gauge information to calculate stitches per inch and then multiply by desired hat height).

Then I worked in my stitch pattern (Stockinette for the body, Seed Stitch for the brim) until it was the desired circumference. An average adult hat is 20″ so I kept knitting until my piece was 20″ long from the beginnning.
