Ok so I'm a beginner and totally don't understand this at all.
Did not like this hat. Way too big for me but it will keep me warm.
Actual pattern:
Row 1 k2 p2
Row 2 k
Row 3 p
Knitting this pattern for 10 inches before you start to decrease makes the hat way too big.
How do you start the decrease with the corrected pattern? Please help!! This is my fourth attempt.
Can someone clarify the pattern before I start this project? I am a member of Project Linus and knit blankets but I would like to make these beanies with my left over stash for other charities. Thanks for the great website!
More instrutions for this pattern would have been helpful. I added two stiches to make the pattern come out right. If there are other changes it would be helpful to add them.
Wrong amount of stitches, you need to add or eliminate 2 stitches on the first row. It appears that the main part is done in stocking stitch (according to pattern) How do one get the ribbed effect??
The pattern is really simple, and just what I was looking for! However, the image given does not fit the hat. (Looks nothing like the finished product)
will make lots of this easy pattern .its looks smart as well
hanks for the pattern. I am looking for a pattern that is doubled than sewed at the top

thanks for the easy-looking pattern. i am a bit confused, though; its an 8 row pattern i think. not 2 , as mentioned in the instructions?
This is a nice website! Thanks so much for the pattern. I have lots of yarn and am excited about making these hats.
I really enjoyed this pattern except I had to add two stitches in order to end with P2. The 2tog was easy except I miss read the instructions and did a row of 2tog and purl until I only had two stitches left then pulled the yarn through it. My hubby did not know I made a mistake and thought my hat was a work of art! :)
I can't wait to start making bunches of them to hand out in these trying times! thanks!!!
This Beanie will be a good way to use up the left over yarn. Some could be quite interesting. Thank you for the pattern.
Just copied the instructions by hand and can hardly wait to get started with this simple beanie. Looks simple enough even for a beginner like me.

will try the pattern. Sounds simple enough to produce many for charity. It's a very kind idea. Thanks
i love knitting..hats, scarfs,mittens .. mostly socks
Thanks for having a great site for us knitters.
the instructions are clear and precise. Love it!!!!!
For the beginning, in order for the pattern to end on with a P2 you need to cast on either 72 or 76 stitches. That seems to be a problem I had anyway.
Great pattern though. Thanks for sharing.
this is the first knitted beanie i've made. The Instructions were perfectly simple and the pattern makes a great hat.
Loved it !
