Easy DK Beanie Hat

Easy knit pattern for a **fitted, slouchy or folded cuff beanie** hat. 2 pattern versions: **[knit in the round][1]** (circular needle) and **[straight needles][2]**, so you can knit the hat your way. **Sizing & Gauge** **8 sizes** from newborn **baby to XL** adult. While **standard DK gauge of 22 stitches and 28 rows/rounds** is used, **exact gauge is not vital** as the hat is quite stretchy. The hat is your swatch, there’s no need for test squares. :smile: **Yarn Amounts** You need 1 small 50g ball of yarn for baby sizes or 2 small balls/1 big ball to make a hat for a child or adult (with some leftover). > This hat pattern is also > available for **worsted/aran** yarn and > **5mm needles** for a slightly heavier hat > and quicker knit: See [Worsted/aran > beanie for circular needles][3] and > [straight needles][4] [1]: https://www.craftfix.com/dk-hat-knitting-pattern-circular/ [2]: https://www.craftfix.com/dk-hat-knitting-pattern-straight-needles/ [3]: https://www.ravelry.com/patterns/library/easy-knit-beanie-circular [4]: https://www.ravelry.com/patterns/library/easy-knit-beanie-straight-needles
