Fast and Easy Knit Hat

A Knitting Pattern by Liz Chandler @PurlsAndPixels

Hey there! Want to make your very first beginner knit hat pattern? This Fast and Easy Knit Hat is the perfect place to start. It’s simple, relaxing, and super satisfying. You only need one stitch (the knit stitch) and some super bulky yarn. In about an hour or two, you’ll have a warm, stretchy super bulky yarn hat that feels soft and cozy. It’s the kind of project that makes you proud from the very first row.

You’ll use circular needles and knit around and around, watching your hat grow as you go. No purls, no fancy steps. Just smooth, steady knitting that feels calm and fun. When it’s tall enough, you’ll thread your yarn through the top, and pull it closed. That’s it! You’ve made a hat: simple, cute, and all your own.

This pattern is made for new knitters who want something easy and fun. It’s great for kids learning to knit, parents teaching alongside, or grandparents sharing something special. Each hat comes together quickly and gives that little spark of joy that keeps you wanting to make more.

This printable PDF is the same pattern as the Free Fast and Easy Knit Hat Pattern on my blog, but it’s ad-free and easy to read. You can save it on your tablet or print it out to knit anywhere: on the couch, at the table, or while hanging out with your favorite people.

Inside the pattern, you’ll find clear directions, friendly tips, and simple steps that make learning to knit feel cozy and fun. This isn’t just a pattern… it’s your first success story with yarn and needles.

✔️ This printable knitting pattern includes:

• Materials list & gauge guide

• Easy-to-follow written instructions

• Formatted for clean, ad-free printing

• Instant digital download after purchase

This hat is knit from the bottom up using only knit stitches. The motion is calm and relaxing, perfect for learning or unwinding. When your hat is tall enough, you’ll close the top by weaving your yarn through the last stitches and pulling it tight. The finished hat is soft, stretchy, and so comfy to wear.

Materials

I designed the Chunky Ribbed Knit Hat using Wool Ease Thick & Quick by Lion Brand Yarn  .  You can substitute almost any super-bulky weight yarn in this pattern successfully; just check your gauge before you start. Hometown by Lion Brand Yarn, KnitPicks Tuff Puff, and Malabrigo Rasta work great, too.

Skills

This is an easy knitting skill level pattern that requires a general understanding of knitting in the round, the long-tail cast on, knit, and finishing knit hats. If you are not familiar with these skills, find quick, free lessons in my Learn to Knit Guide.

Care

If you use the materials called for in the pattern, your final product will be machine washable. To keep your hat looking its best, hand wash or machine wash separately on delicate cycle in cold water. You may tumble dry on low heat or lay flat to dry.
