DIY easy knit hat Wednesday by Zak said

How to make an easy knitted hat?

As Zak a dit so aptly puts it, long, short, colorful, plain with just one explanation, make three different hats : the classic passe-partout, the casual and the comforting, with its double ribbing that protects ears from the cold. Renowned blogger Zak a dit shows us step-by-step how to knit them. Make sure you're ready for several canapés by the fire! These three hats, and many other colorful DIY knitting and crochet projects, can be found in his latest book Souriez, vous tricotez! published by Prisma.

Thanks Zak a dit for sharing.

What stitch should I use to knit a beanie?

Here are the stitches used in these tutorials:

• 2/2rib
• Jersey stitch : 1 purl row and 1 purl row
• Right-side stitch: w end
• Purl stitch: m env
• Together stitch: m ens

Use n°6, 5 and n°7 needles (or n°8 if you knit tight) and (re)discover our entire wool department.

Sample: 10 stitches x 14 rows

If you're new to knitting, we recommend you watch our video tutorials on how to knit, including How to knit a purl stitch? and How to knit a purl stitch?
