Product Description
The Simple Hat pattern is a simple design, that goes with all outfits. I always had mine in the bottom of my handbag during our holiday and it was so convenient! Warm, cozy and comfy.
It is also perfect to make as a gift. It is very simple so it is an ideal pattern to try out or perfect your double pointed needles skills. It is worked in the round from the rim to the top with 2 different sizes of double pointed needles.
The simple hat design is very sober and can easily be used for men and woman depending on the yarn color chosen.
Materials
5mm and 6mm double pointed needles.
Nice, soft, bulky yarn for 7-8mm needles (a little over 1/2 skein). I used Julia yarn from Zeeman in light grey. On the label, they recommend 7-8mm needles, but I used smaller needles on purpose because I wanted my mittens to be nice and warm and thick and cozy.

Stitch holder
Tapestry needle to weave in the ends.
