Beanie or Brim Knit Hats
Beanie or Brim Knit Hats

Create your own knit brim or beanie hat for the very first time. Mikey was determined to figure out how to knit enough to make his hat and one for Diva Dan. 

While the hat is simple in concept, you know it can feel like a daunting task if you are a new knitter. Mikey's attention span can be limited, and using the Red Heart Roll With It Melange, where the colour is playful and changing, it made the journey to learn a lot of fun. 

It's not a race, and both of us now have great hats. Daniel prefers a knit hat over a crochet one as the hat is not as thick or heavy. I've caught him wearing it on his own without having to push him to put on a hat. So it's a win-win. 


Pattern Details

  • Project Size: Average Adult. It's stretchy.
  • Designer: Michael Sellick, Mikey
