How to Knit Children's Hat | Megan Brightwood

This hat came about as more of a necessity than anything, since both my kids have seemed to have inherited my keen ability to lose things. However, I've fallen in love with all the little details on this hat, and now I want to make one for myself, as well! Worked in the round, it features a clean, tubular cast on edge with a wide ribbed brim to fit a growing head. It also has a gently rounded crown, which utilizes a unique decrease method for a streamlined look. While the hat itself is basic, and can be tailored to a beginning knitter, the added details give it a timeless look that can be worn year after year.

Thank you so much for this video! I have been musing about making a hat like this for my grand kids and yours is exactly what I had in mind. I love how you explain every step...and the improved SSK....that is terrific! I am finishing up a Petite Knit Teddy Sweater and will be using that as I decrease through the sleeve. Thanks again for the videos:) Happy knitting!

I like the decrease method in this. Excellent video! I’d like to do same hat ladies size.

Hi Megan I love your hat but I would love to use size 8 needles. How would I adjust this? Thanks in advance for your help.

Thanks so much for the video, how many stitches I need to cast on for 3-6 month baby? Please help!

You did not tell and show first decreasing row what how to do decreasing . Beginning decreasing were left 14, but other sections were left 13, how about to do finish ending of decreasing rows.

Can you use a different type of yarn? I like to use lion brand wool ease which is 80% acrylic and 20% wool?

[@cheekybechamel]

is it possible to do this pattern on 4 double pointed needles rather than using circular needles? thank you in advance

[@Barons.knitting]

Thank you so much for the tutorial. I learned new techniques, which is always exciting. What age range should this hat fit?

[@lyncable227]

I know this was 2 years ago but need to ask where you purchased the yarn you used.

[@m.ostrander7787]

I wish you could do a more slowed down explanation of the cast on for absolute beginners. Really difficult to follow. 😔

[@natascheobrienlegg7458]

What's the circumference measurement of the finished hat?

How long did this take you?

[@lisapully9274]

I'm sorry, but this is very confusing to me. It does work up very pretty.

[@evelyngee7844]

Omg get on with it

Rather than comment, don’t watch. You have been provided free instructions on something. The emotion should be gratitude, not frustration. She was actually very good at a good pace.
