Knitted Hat Patterns - The Idle Hat

The idle hat is one of the knitted hat patterns that are perfect for days when you just want to unwind and take it easy. It's a simple hat that's given a distinctive twist by funky yarn and has a relaxed and nice feel. If you have a lot of hair, I suggest that you make this hat larger than its standard size. This hat is 8 inches tall and about 19 inches around and would fit an average woman.

Tips on finishing:
- Don't forget to switch to knitting with 2 circulars or your double pointed needles as you decrease and there aren't enough stitches to stretch across a single circular.
- Once you have reduced to 5 or 6 stitches, cut the yarn while leaving a couple of inches.
- To make the top of the hat, pull tightly. Weave in ends.
