About
A very easy knitted hat for people who find lots of stitches/circular knitting scary!!
I found this pattern on The Guradian newspaper website. I attempted it and finished within a few hours! You can make this hat bigger/smaller by changing the size of needles you use, and the thickness of your wool. I like using big chunky wool for this, but you can use anything! You can also add stripes and stuff to make it look better :)

Purl is a variation on the knit stitch. Instead of putting your needle up through the stitch on your left needle, you put it through downwards! Hope this helps? x
