How to Knit an Adult-Sized Hat
- 1). Measure around the adult’s head at the widest spot with the tape measure. Subtract 1 inch from the measurement to allow for the hat’s snug fit.
- 2). Cast on 36 stitches with the yarn and the knitting needles.
- 3). Knit every row until the piece of work is as long as the measurement in step one. Cast off and cut the yarn, leaving a 24-inch tail.
- 4). Thread the yarn tail in the tapestry needle. Fold the hat in half lengthwise and sew a seam to connect the two short sides into a tube shape. Knot and cut the yarn.
- 5). Thread the tapestry needle with 12-inches of yarn. Sew 1/2-inch stitches around one side of the tube with the tapestry needle and yarn. Pull the thread to gather the stitches for the top of the hat. Knot and cut the yarn.
