Want to knit a super-simple hat on a budget? This easy free knitting pattern is the perfect choice.

This free hat knitting pattern uses Patons Pompero which is soft and easy-care, and especially good for people who can’t wear wool. Our hat pattern features a deep garter stitch border and simple shaping which will be easy enough to knit in front of the telly! The perfect stocking filler for a friend, dare we say, and a useful little hat to boot.

Our model wears the hat made in Delphinium Blue, but take a look at the Pompero colour range and you’ll find 13 gorgeous colours to choose from. This design would also look good with the garter stitch border in one shade, and the top in a contrasting or toning colour. Or the border in a single colour, and the top in stripes for a footie fan. You’ve got to admit, we love to inspire you.

This beanie hat is suitable for beginners.
