Looking for a cozy and simple knit beanie pattern? This free pattern is a winner – it’s beginner-friendly and perfect for gift-making! Available in three sizes (child, adult Small/Medium, and adult Large), this beanie is knit in the round using worsted weight yarn and just one skein. It starts with a comfy 2×2 ribbed brim, then moves into either a simple stitch pattern or plain stockinette – your choice! The crown is shaped smoothly at the top, making this hat not just easy to knit but also a polished finished piece. Practice circular knitting or chart reading with this project, perfect for showcasing solid-color yarns, though variegated ones also shine. You’ll need 16″ circulars and double-pointed needles (or magic loop). A fun, fast project for knitters of all levels!
