Simple Beanie Hat
You’ll need:
1 skein of Nako Arctic yarn N 6070 (100m/100g);
Knitting needles 5,5.
Head circumference: 56-58 cm.
Height: 28 cm.
Instructions
Cast on 36 sts with knitting needles 5,5 and make 2 rows of garter stitch, don’t forget, that the first and last sts of the row are selvage sts, i.e, always slip the first st without knitting, make the last st – as purl.
Then, work with shorten rows (it’s better to use circular knitting needles):
3rd row: 1 selvage st, 29 knit sts, leave 6 sts without knitting them on the left needle. Turn;
4th and all the even rows: knit;
5th row: 1 selvage st, 29 knit sts, leave 5 sts without knitting them on the left needle;
7th row: 1 selvage st, 29 knit sts, leave 4 sts without knitting them on the left needle;
9th row: 1 selvage st, 29 knit sts, leave 3 sts without knitting them on the left needle;
11th row: 1 selvage st, 29 knit sts, leave 2 sts without knitting them on the left needle;
13th row: 1 selvage st, 29 knit sts, leave 1 st without knitting them on the left needle;
15th row: knit.
You’ve made the first gusset, make 8 pcs, i.e., repeat 3rd-15th rows x 7 times. Start the 17th row from the 3rd row.
After you have made 8 gussets, make 2 rows of garter stitch, bind off the sts, sew the hat.
Cute hat !
