Choose your yarn. It is best to use bulky or worsted weight yarn rather than thin, skinny yarns.
- Measure your head in inches.
- Knit a swatch with your yarn that you are using to knit a hat and measure how many stitches in an inch.
- Calcuate both of the results. Example, your head is 21 inch and your yarn is 4 stitches in an inch. 21x4= 84. You need to cast on 84 stitches to fit the hat with your head.
- Cast on the stitches and join in the round
- Knit every row until it's about 8 inches long. If 8 inches is too long, you can curl the stockinette stitch.
- Knit 5 stitches, then knit the next two together. Continue to knit 5 stitches and knit the next two together. The last two stitches should be knitted together if you've done it correctly.
- Purl one round.
- Knit 4 stitches, then knit the next two together. Continue to knit 4 stitches and knit the next two stitches together.
- Purl one round.
- Knit 3 stitches, then knit the next two together.
- Purl one round.
- Knit 2 stitches, then knit the next two together.
- Purl one round.
- Knit 1 stitch, then knit the next two together.
- Purl one round.
- Knit every two stitches together.
- Purl one round.
- Knit every two stitches together so you end with 6 stitches (if it's more or less than six stitches, it's okay).
- Measure about 3 feet (0.9 m) of yarn and cut it off from the skein.
- Take a large plastic sewing needle and thread it through the 6 stiches.
- Then, thread your needle into the inside of your head, and weave in the ends into some purl bumps.
- Turn the hat inside out to hide the seam.
