Hats knitting patterns

Hats are the friendliest first project in knitting — they finish quickly, fit forgivingly, and let you try a stitch pattern at small scale before committing it to a sweater. Our free hat patterns range from straightforward ribbed beanies to cabled toques and slouchy tams, with a handful of stranded colourwork designs for knitters ready for the next step.

The full list is below, gathered from real public-domain vintage patterns. Use search to jump straight to a project.
