Watch while I cast on and knit a hat from the beginning to the end! “Knit a Hat Start to Finish” is a perfect tool for both beginner and seasoned knitters. If you are new to knitting, you can watch exactly what I do and cast on with confidence. The pattern is incredibly simple, and beginner friendly! If you are more experienced, check out my “Unraveled Tips” peppered throughout the video that show you how I quickly and efficiently change colors and deal with ends as I go! Also, the middle section of the video, when I am just knitting around and around on the body, includes the audio from an episode of the Historical Yarns podcast for entertainment!

If you would prefer a quicker version of the video that has less instruction, check out the Knit a Hat Start to Finish video below. It transitions much faster from beginning to end and just shows the highlights of how to make a hat!

This pattern is the most basic version of a slightly slouchy beanie that you can make! The contrast cuff and pom pom make it a little more interesting, while keeping the knitting super simple. Make the body a little longer for more slouch, or shorter for a tighter fit! Download your copy of the Tri-Color Beanie and knit along with me! Also, don’t forget to add your project on Ravelry, so everyone can see your beautiful version!
