An average adult hat is 20″ so I kept knitting until my piece was 20″ long from the beginnning. Then I worked in my stitch pattern (Stockinette for the body, Seed Stitch for the brim) until it was the desired circumference. I wanted my hat to be around 8-8.5″ tall after I cinched it closed, so I worked the number of stitches needed (use the gauge information to calculate stitches per inch and then multiply by desired hat height). The number of stitches you cast on is the height of the hat. The body of the hat is simple Stockinette and you can adjust the height with this part of the hat. The brim is 7 sts and could be kept the same for any size. You can also choose to wear it with the brim down or turned up. This hat can easily be adjusted because of the nature of how it is made.

I have a few knit hat patterns on the blog and I have had several requests for a hat that was knit on two needles.Ī popular technique in crochet is to work the hat side to side and then sew the seam closed and cinch the top, so I thought – why not do that with knit?
