Red Heart Super Saver Black Knit Hat

A super easy knit hat pattern using only knit and purl rows to create the design. I made this black hat for Halloween. I might attach a spider pin to it or some other Halloweenie item. Maybe sew a few spider rings onto it after cutting off the ring part of the plastic spiders.

Yarn: Medium (4) worsted yarn. I used half of a skein Red Heart Super Saver color Black.

Size 9 needles.

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

Hat brim:      

Row 1: K1, P1 across.

Knit row 1 six times (6 rows total).

Hat pattern:

Rows 1-5: Knit across.

Row 6: Purl across.

Complete rows 1 through 6 five times. You will have 5 purl rows.

Knit every row 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 and turn right side out.
