Easy to do even for beginners! How to knit a knit hat

 

Materials needed

  • Yarn : Medium to thick yarn is recommended. Beginners should start with medium-thin or thick yarn, which is easy to handle.
  • Circular needle : Prepare a circular needle of the size that matches the thickness of your yarn. As a guide, refer to the recommended needle size for yarn.
  • Stitch marker : Useful to mark the beginning of a ring.
  • Stitching needle : Used to finish the yarn at the end of knitting.

 

Basic knitting method

  1. preparation

    • Once you have selected your yarn, create the appropriate number of stitches on your circular needle. For general adult knit caps, 80 to 100 stitches are often made on the circular needle, but please adjust according to the size of the head and the thickness of the yarn.

  2. Creating ribbed knitting

    • The ribbing at the edge of a knit hat helps the hat fit snugly to your head. Continue knitting about 5 to 7 cm using 2-stitch elastic knitting (alternately knitting 1st stitch on the front and 1st stitch on the back).

  3. How to knit the main body part

    • After finishing the rib knitting, proceed with knitting the main part using flat knitting (all front knitting). Continue until the hat is about 20cm high.

  4. Create shape by reducing

    • Gradually reduce the number of stitches toward the top of the hat. Divide it into 8 equal parts using a stitch count marker, and knit the second stitch together (two stitches once) just before each section to reduce the number of stitches. Repeat this reduction for several rounds until you have only a few stitches.

  5. finishing

    • Pass the remaining stitch through with a stitching needle and squeeze to close the center. Finally, arrange the ends of the thread and adjust the shape of the hat to complete it.

 

Tips and points

  • Check the gauge : Before you start knitting, check the gauge (the number of stitches and rows in a 10cm square piece of fabric). If the gauge does not match, adjust by changing the needle size.
  • Knit Relaxed : Knitting in a relaxed manner will result in even knitting. Be sure to touch the yarn gently and not use too much force.
