Note
This pattern is deceptively simple – it’s simply a length of garter stitch worked flat! With careful attention to the cast-on and cast-off techniques (to ensure they match) and with clever use of garter stitch seaming techniques, this Hat can be made in any gauge, in any yarn. And it’s absolutely perfect for beginners.

How To
With main yarn and using Crochet Provisional cast-on method as a permanent cast-on, cast on 25 [28, 31, 34] sts. Try to leave a tail of around 7 [8, 9, 10] in/ 17.75 [20.25, 22.75, 25.5] cm
Body
Row 1: Knit all sts
Row 2: Knit all sts
These two rows create garter stitch. Repeat these two rows until work measures approximately 10.5 [12, 13.5, 15] in/ 26.75 [30.5, 34.25, 38] cm from the cast on edge, with the garter stitch relaxed.
Cast-off loosely using the regular cast-off method. Using a larger needle can help stop the cast-off becoming too tight. Leave a tail of around 7 [8, 9, 10] in/ 17.75 [20.25, 22.75, 25.5] cm
Finishing
Fold work in half length-ways.
Using the yarn tails, and using the mattress stitch method for garter stitch, close each side seam. You may wish to either duplicate stitch or use the ends of the yarn to otherwise tidy up the bottom edge at the seam points and keep the chain continuous.
If your yarn tails both end up on the same side, use a scrap of remaining yarn to close the seam.
Weave in all ends. A gentle wash and blocking is required to help the stitches settle.
