Women’s knit hat pattern for beginners (pdf + video)

This is the pattern for a fun and quick knit hat with a textured rib pattern. “Jeans hat” is a hat that you’ll enjoy knitting again and again.

The hat is worked in aran weight yarn circularly from the bottom up. You may knit it as a beanie or as a slouchy hat, add a pom pom. The pattern has written instructions, chart, and some video tutorials.

Please share any finished Jeans hats with me on Instagram with tag #jeans_hat. I’d love to see what you create 🙂

Enjoy your knitting!
