Basketweave Hat

Every knitter knows that everyone needs a hat (or two or three!), and a simple beanie is always a timeless favorite. Stand out from the crowd with this stylish hat, featuring a beautifully textured basketweave patterned brim that contrasts beautifully with a classic stockinette body. This eye-catching design not only keeps you warm but also adds a touch of elegance to your winter wardrobe.

This chic beanie is knitted in the round from the brim up, making it a fun and satisfying project for knitters of all skill levels. The length can easily be adjusted to suit individual preferences, so whether you like your hats snug or slouchy, this pattern has you covered. The cleverly designed stitch pattern, which is both clearly written and thoroughly charted, avoids the common jog at the join, ensuring a seamless finish that looks professional.

As you embark on this knitting adventure, be mindful that the brim is initially worked with the wrong side (WS) facing. This crucial detail means that when you turn up the brim, the neatly finished side is what will be showcased. This beanie pattern not only offers a satisfying knit but also results in a stylish accessory you’ll be proud to wear or gift to loved ones.

Stitch pattern is provided in both written and charted formats for your convenience. Whether you're an experienced knitter or a beginner looking to challenge yourself, this beanie is a perfect addition to your pattern collection. Happy knitting!
