Everyone needs a hat (or two or three!) and a simple beanie is always a winner. Stand out from the crowd with this hat, with its basketweave patterned brim, contrasting nicely with a straightforward stockinette body.

This hat is knit in the round from the brim up, and can easily be adjusted in length if required. The textured pattern, which is both written and charted, cleverly avoids a jog at the join. Be careful that the brim is worked initially with the WS facing: when the brim is turned up, the other side will show.
