Easy Knit Halloween Hat

Here is a very easy knit pattern for a Halloween hat using orange and black yarn.

Yarn: Medium (4) worsted yarn - colors black and orange. I used half of a skein Red Heart Super Saver color Black and Lion Brand Yarn Fun color Orange.

Size 9 knitting needles.

Cast on 70 leaving a long tail for sewing up seam.

Hat brim:

Row 1: In black - K1, P1 across.

Knit row 1 six times in black (6 rows total).

Hat pattern:

Rows 1 - 2: Knit in orange.

Row 3 - 8: Knit in black.

Rows 9 - 10: Knit in orange.

Rows 11 - 16: Knit in black.

Rows 17-18: Knit in orange.

Knit every row in black until hat measures 10-inches long. Bind off and leave a long tail for closing the top of the hat.

To put together, lay out hat on a flat surface. Bring right sides together so that the wrong side is facing you. Pin side edges together, making sure the rows are matching. Sew up the side of the hat, starting at the brim.

Use bind off tail and weave it in and out of the last row. Pull tight to gather hat's top and knot in place. Weave in the ends.
