Best hat tutorial. Thank you Patti for sharing your size chart and also explaining how to further adjust hat sizes depending on yarn number. You’re an excellent teacher (love your channel) and just terrific to watch😊
Hi Patti, I just wanted to add my thanks for your detailed instructions and for providing the size chart and pattern So kind of you! I'm looking forward to knitting a hat for my daughter and 20 month old granddaughter. Thank you! :)
Hi Patti I'm back. : ) I can't tell you how much I appreciate you putting ALL sizes with instructions for them as well!!! I do believe you've saved my sanity I've made the adult hat (you taught me how to cast on knitways) and have been going nuts trying to find a clear and concise tutorial for baby and child. WOW you really went all out with leaving the written patterns/sizes/needle sizes etc. THANK YOU so much! Now I'm on the search for a shorter than 16" length circular needle. One I found would have been great but I'm such a tight knitter and the plastic needles just don't work well for me. I shall persevere since that's what I do ;)
So happy to hear that my efforts to provide lots of info is going to good use. Glad it was helpful for you. Hope you can find the needles. Maybe Amazon or Michael’s.
Hi Patti, brilliant tutorial thankyiu! I am about to make the child's hat, your notes say to use bulky 6 yarn, but I only have a bulky 5 yarn. Would this be ok? Do I need to change the needle size or the number of cast on stitches? If so, what needles do you suggest I use? How many stitches would I cast on? Thankyou
But it is best to knit a little sample to test your gauge. Cast on about 16 stitches and knit about 6 rows. Measure how many stitches you knit per inch. Example: Let’s say you knit 6 stitches per inch and you want your hat to be 12” in total circumference. Then just multiply 6x12 which equals 72. So you will cast on 72 stitches.
Hi Patti l am perplexed on the red yarn labels they made the gauge using 8 mm needles and on you charts it says to knit with 6 mm needles. I want to knit a white hat for a child would 54 sets would it be ok on size 6mm?
I trying knit a hat for my grandson who is three, using dk ysrm on 4mm short circular needles 16 inch casted on 100 stitches just hope its wide enough, going use your measurements and decresse the same even though have more stitches when finished x
I cast on 44 stitches using a chunky bulky 6 yarn for a child’s hat. DK yarn is much thinner and 100 -116 stitches should do it. If you want to make sure then knit about 8 rows measure the circumference and it should be about 12” laying it flat and when stretched about 21”. Then you know it will fit.
Hi Patti, as a beginner knitter I appreciate your very exact instructions. But, please, how can I print the directions for the different size hats from the You Tube video? Can anyone help me?? I have already started knitting!!

Hi I was trying to find the handy chart for size and yarn for the hat in different sizes can you how I can get it and the other thing is I got some 8 ply yarn to use what needles and stitches should I have thanks gloria
Hi Gloria. The handy chart is at time stamp 2:41 in the video. Just pause so you can refer to it. I try not to measure yarn by the ply because it is different for each type of yarn. Some 4 ply yarns could be the same thickness as an eight ply yarn. I know it can be confusing. Instead look at the term chunky or bulky. You can look on the label and see if it recommends using size 10 needles and if it does you are set to go.
Hi Patti Thanks for your quick reply the reason I asked about the 8 ply and needles because In Austraila we use ply in yarn not numbers I will keep trying to find the right sizes and yarn that I have thanks again gloria
I had 60 cast on stitches with US10 needles. I don’t like a tight fitting hat so I used the larger needles. My guess and it is a guess that you could cast on 64 for an adult hat. Everyone has a different head size. You you are knitting for a larger head than cast on 68.
I have done thiis k2 p2 in rbing and then i have done the body of the hat all kniting rows help how do i cast off this is all new to me new knitting thank you
It doesn’t matter if you have done ribbing or all knit stitches for the body of the hat. Continue to follow me in the video when you get to the decrease rows. You will be knitting 2 knit stitches together instead of 1k1p stitches. The knit 2 together will form the top crown of your hat. And then the last stitches are cinched in. This pattern has no cast off stitches.
Hi Can you tell me if I can use the same formula for 1x1 rib beanie your information for 2x2 rib was so good I have knitted 4 beanies for my grandkids hope you can help thanks again gloria
Thank you so much for this link. I'm curious as to why the #6 weight for male/child vs #5 for female/baby. I haven't watched the video in its entirety yet so forgive me if you covered it.
Because I was using a soft baby yarn for baby’s hat as was doing a matched hat for mom. Didn’t think dad would want a baby yarn so changed it up to a bulkier hat for dad and child.
Hi there, love your style and channel, excellent teacher! I am ordering wool and note that for the Wool label for Bernat Softee Chunky Bulky #6 it suggests 8mm needles US 11 for the Adult Dad hat instructions you gave it says 6 mm US 10. Would your label have said those needles? I’m a beginner and just learned about matching needles and wool from label and don’t want a different shape. Do I follow your instructions for needles or the label of the wool?
Hi Connie, I used the same size needles for all the hats to make it easier for everyone. But instead I confused you. Sorry about that. Because I was demonstrating using a bulky #5 and a bulky #6. So I left it all the same needle sizes to hopefully make it easier. Yes, you are right. The label will give you a needle size to fit the yarn size. Because we are just knitting hats we have lots of leeway to adjust yarn size and needle size. Saying all that you will be fine with the US10 6mm but if you already have the US11 then it will be fine.
@@CraftyPattiArtsCrafts thanks so much! I’ve looked to see if you have a video on switching colours and can’t seem to find one! Love your style of teaching! Thanks so much!
Hi Connie, I have the knitted teddy bear video where I change colours in the same project. If you want to have a look here is the link. th-cam.com/video/M0xehCq2nsg/w-d-xo.html
Hi Patti, I have a med. 4 Moyen (Caron cake swirls) yarn and want to knit hat for 3 year old. Yarn suggests size 8 needle. How many stitches should I cast on? Have you worked with this yarn? Will this yarn have stretch for comfort or be a tighter fit? Thank you for any help.
When you are changing up needle and yarn sizes it is best to knit a little sample to test your gauge. Cast on about 16 stitches and knit about 8 rows. Measure how many stitches you knit per inch. Example: Let’s say you knit 8 stitches per inch and you want your hat to be 12” in total circumference. Then just multiply 8x12 which equals 96 So you will cast on 96 stitches. The Caron cakes is fine to use but will just be a tighter knit hat. The ribbing is what gives the hat the stretch. Not the actual yarn. Hope that helps.
I’ve started my hat. Your instruction for my change of yarn and needle size (Caron cakes) was perfect! I really love your channel and this pattern. Thanks again Patti🥰
Have a look in my knitting crochet playlist. There are a couple scarfs. Here’s the link. KNITTING & CROCHET th-cam.com/play/PLp6o7Vy1aS_WYtpQVrdMbB6WeX4KfBUQz.html
A bit of a work around to print from description. Send me a request via email for hats for the whole family to craftypatti60@gmail.com and I will send you the patterns.
When you are changing up needle sizes and yarn sizes from original pattern than it is best to knit a small sample gauge. Cast on about 20 stitches and knit about 8 rows. Look and see how many stitches you knit in your inch(2.5cm) Average size adult head is about 21-24”(53.3-61cm) Your finished hat should be about 14”(36cm) in circumference when it is flat on a table and about 24”(61cm) when stretched out. So if you have knit 6 stitches to your 1”(2.5cm) then you can figure out how many stitches to cast on to get the right size. As I mentioned above your finished hat should be about 14”(36cm). So 14”x 6 stitches= 84 stitches to cast on. Just make sure your final number is a multiple of 4. Add or minus a cast on stitch to make it work. Hope that makes sense.
You can. But the idea of the circular needles is that there is no seam to sew up making for a nicer looking knitted hat. And it’s super easy to use circular needles.
Hello Patti how to make socks for winter ... How is your school principal ...we want these kind of more needles send it in your classroom..Patti I want you be our Dean
It’s actually 6mm needles for the child’s hat. The 3.5mm is for the baby hat. Easy to get mixed up as I have included lots of info for all sizes in the pattern!
I used a bulky 6 and you want to use a bulky 5 so I would say you should be fine with the 44 Cast on stitches. If it is for an older child than add 4 more stitches and cast on 48.
The yarn I used for the dads and child’s hat is a thicker yarn and would be warm for winter. The ladies and baby’s hat is a bit lighter in weight but was warm enough for me on an average winter day but maybe not for a 40 below day of course.

Do I need to change the needle size or the number of cast on stitches? If so, what needles do you suggest I use? How many stitches would I cast on? Thankyou
Try casting on 52 stitches with your US10 needles.
But it is best to knit a little sample to test your gauge. Cast on about 16 stitches and knit about 6 rows. Measure how many stitches you knit per inch.
Example:
Let’s say you knit 6 stitches per inch and you want your hat to be 12” in total circumference.
Then just multiply 6x12 which equals 72. So you will cast on 72 stitches.
@CraftyPattiArtsCrafts I will try this first, thankyou so much 💖
