The Easiest Knitted Baby Hat Ever!!!

[@roszcutler9724]

Yes really enjoyed watching and now I don’t have to worry about decreasing Hallelujah! Thank you!

[@jacqknits]

So glad this is helpful. Yes, not doing any decreases makes it so much easier, and the hats are so cute. Hope you make many!!

[@roszcutler9724]

But I couldn’t find the larger hat instructions for a toddler. I think maybe 80 stitches?

[@jacqknits]

@@roszcutler9724 yes 80 stitches to cast on for the toddler hat. Here is the link to the pattern on Raverly. The larger hat is in paranthesis. www.ravelry.com/patterns/library/easiest-baby-hat-ever-2

Lovely pattern ❤

[@jacqknits]

Thank you. I make this hat all the time.

[@marthalepore6231]

Thank you so much! Your directions were clear. I just finish a baby blanket for my grandson and am working on a hat with the left over yarn. 💕💕

[@jacqknits]

Wonderful! Knitting items for your grandchildren is the best 💕.

[@nicholahenry539]

Thank you I enjoyed making it so quick and easy to make xx

[@jacqknits]

Great. Yes a great quick one to knit 💕

[@KristyDrobney]

Thank you so much for your videos. They've been so helpful. Thank you! I'm finishing up a hat tonight.

[@jacqknits]

Wonderful! I'm glad you are enjoying them.

Thanks!!!

Hi, Thanks for sharing the exremely easy knitted hat! If i have to measure the size ( head circumference ) and knit, how many stitches should I cast on. My toddler is lean and im not sure if his head size would be the same as those his age. He is 3.5 years old. TIA

[@jacqknits]

This is a very forgiving hat for sizing since it is such a stretchy ribbed fabric. This hat fits a 1 year old pretty well so it may be a good fit for your smaller 3.5 year old. I would try the recommended cast on amount. If it’s a bit small it stretches nicely to fit a larger head.

[@kapoormahima]

@@jacqknitsThank you so much for your reply! I will give this try surely and post the pic when im done😊

Hi jac, have you got adults bennies, and can you show us a toddler's bennies

[@jacqknits]

I have a few videos on adult size beanie hats. See links below. Also this baby hat will also work nicely for a toddlers hat. Just cast on more stitches. Maybe 8-10 more and knit for a few more rounds before ending. A quick and easy knitted hat.

[@courtneybogle24]

Im using the exact same needles (size and length) and yarn size as you, but my cast on doesnt reach around the whole needle set. So i cant continue stitching, simce itll create a REALLY long straight tail between the end and the beginning. Not sure what im doing wrong? I counted 66 4 times

[@jacqknits]

Your first couple rounds are also a big stretch around the needles. The stitches are far apart but once you get a couple rounds complete and have more volume it becomes easier to knit and the stitches fill in. Try a couple rounds even if the stitches seem far apart. If that doesn’t work you can always try using double pointed needles to knit in the round and switch to your circular needles after a couple rounds.

[@peggyjoabraham8542]

This looks about my speed. :) I just started but wondering why I have a gap where the first knitting in the first row began. I notice you don’t have that. Will I be able to fix it later?

[@jacqknits]

Yes if you have a gap in the first row where you cast on at the end you can take your tail from the cast on and stitch to close that up.

[@peggyjoabraham8542]

@@jacqknits thank you!

[@peggyjoabraham8542]

@@jacqknits also I love how you hold your needles doing this. It looks so much faster than what I do but can’t seem to mimic it.

[@jacqknits]

I have a video going live in the future that shows exactly how I hold my needles. It is continental knitting. I think generally it is a faster way to knit once you get the hang of it.

[@ninanimmer7004]

Great video thank you!

[@jacqknits]

Glad you liked it!

[@marlaj6]

Can you make this just by using garter stitch and not use the purl stitch? I’m left handed and really struggling with the purl stitch.

[@jacqknits]

Yes definitely. Just do the entire thing in garter stitch. It will look a bit different, but work for a hat just as well.

[@marlaj6]

@@jacqknits thank you so much!!😊😊

[@eileenmuccillo8047]

Can it be done using fisherman’s stitch? I hate purling thank you

[@colleen1924]

Thank you so much!

[@jacqknits]

You're welcome!

[@hefinaowen7820]

i enjoied your vidios not tha t easey to get the nedels your using in the uk i am only learning to knit thank you looking foward to your vidios thank you

[@jacqknits]

Are you able to order through Amazon? If so, a link to my store with the products I use is here: www.amazon.com/shop/jacqknits

[@Aalirain]

What about with out circular needle

[@jacqknits]

You can certainly knit these with flat needles. Just cast on stitches, knit the k1, P1 sequence for each row for as long as needed and cast off. Then just take your sides and seam together from the bottom up. Then to close the top take your yarn from the seaming of the sides and weave back and forth through the cast off edge and pull to cinch up the top and secure the end. Hope that helps.

[@Aalirain]

@@jacqknits thank you so very much

[@beastqueen5581]

What was the thickness size you used for the worsted weight acrylic yarn?

[@jacqknits]

It is a worsted weight #4 on the yarn weight scale for this hat. For this particular hat I used the Hobby Lobby Yarn Bee SoftStitch yarn. It's a super soft acrylic yarn perfect for babies (but it is currently unavailable on Amazon). Not sure if you can still get it at Hobby Lobby. But any soft worsted #4 weight yarn will work nicely.

[@beastqueen5581]

@jacqknits Aw okay, thank you so much for replying!

[@hefinaowen7820]

what sise is 7 in us and what sise is in mm please and wher do you buy hour wool and kniting needels please i am in wales

[@jacqknits]

I'm sorry, I should have given you that information. US size 7 is equivalent to 4.5mm size needle. The needles and yarn are both available on Amazon. Here is the link to the needles and the yarn. Double Pointed Needles that I use can be found on Amazon at: amzn.to/3ETmY5C Yarn used for this project can be purchased here: amzn.to/452oTzy If these links don't work in the UK, search for: Weabetfu Aluminum Double Pointed Knitting Needles and Hobby Lobby Oats Yarn Bee ID Yarn Hope that helps.

[@hefinaowen7820]

thank s so much

[@tanyarathore3216]

Hi what type of yarn are you using? Is it light yarn or chunky yarn?

[@jacqknits]

It is a worsted weight yarn.

[@shaistachowdrey]

Hi what is worsted weight yarn can I knit this in double knit yarn

[@hefinaowen7820]

what sise needels did you say did not hear what you said thank you

[@jacqknits]

I used a US Size 7 needle for this project.

[@Karachiottawa]

How many stitches for 8 years boy

[@jacqknits]

I would try either 88 or 92 stitches to cast on. Since it’s a ribbing it is pretty stretchy so you may get by with 88 stitches.

[@clairerebeccabenham]

​@jacqknits can you just make the hat any size? I made your toddler size hat for my 9-month old baby and I love it so much, but all my other kids are much older and I'm not the best knitter, this pattern was so easy and I loved it.

[@patgruber6243]

All I have is merano.

[@jacqknits]

While I love merino wool I try to steer away from wool for babies or kids since you have to hand wash it. But then again hats don’t need frequent washing so you may be ok.

[@ginafrattini3490]

The link to your pattern does not work. Can you tell me how many to cast on for the toddler size hat?

[@jacqknits]

Oh, thank you for bringing that to my attention. I have now fixed that link. But to answer your question, the Toddler hat, I casted on 80 stitches. Thanks for reaching out.

[@Conknitlady]

Can I use regular needles

[@Conknitlady]

Nevermind

[@Conknitlady]

Is the cast on equal to the width?

[@jacqknits]

Yes your cast on edge will be the base of the hat which will be fitted around the head.

[@valeriem.neatrour6155]

Can you show us how you do a Pom Pom?

[@jacqknits]

Thank you for that suggestion. I actually make my poms poms with a pom pom maker which will be fun to show how. You can also make them with some tools from home which I feel doesn't make as nice of one, but I could show how to do that as well. I'll try to fit that video in over the next few weeks. Thanks again. Happy knitting!
