This quick, beginner-friendly project is perfect for a cozy knit you can finish in just one day! Learn how to make an easy beanie with this free knitting pattern, offering two stylish options to try. The pattern includes both men’s and women’s designs, giving you room to experiment. The first version uses bulky yarn with a 2×2 ribbing band, as you can see in the featured photo. The other one features 4-ply worsted-weight yarn without ribbing at the bottom. These hats use minimal yarn, making them great for scrap-busting! The pattern starts at the band and works up to the crown, resulting in a warm and cozy beanie that’s simple and satisfying to make!
