You do not need to know how to knit in the round or use double pointed needles! I take you though each of the steps, from the cast on, to the cast off. Enjoy!

Actually don't do what i suggested in my previous comment, i kept doing 122 stitches instead of the 112
(Tw depression and the urges that come with it) I have never made a hat before and haven't knitted in years, but tonight i was really struggling with my mental health and saw an unfinished scarf i started a few years back. I decided to finish it and then decided to make a hat. Your hat tutorial probably saved my life tonight. Thank you

If you know how to crochet, then it might be easier for you to learn knitting continental style....there are many tutorials on KZread In the video she is knitting english style
Thank you, this is the best tutorial I have ever seen, and not just anomg knitting tutorials, but literally all of hand crafting stuff. I got two bags of yarn from my grandma after she stopped crocheting and knitting, and now I finally know what to do with them! I'll definitely try to make this beanie.
This is going to be my first real project and I can't wait to see the finished product!! Your explanation of the long tail cast on was SO helpful for this beginner knitter!
Thank you for such a great video and written instructions!! I've knitted one for a friend but I'm going to make myself one now too!💖
i've been wanting to make a beanie for a friend of mine ever since i moved countries (she's in the philippines, i'm in canada) and even though its always hot there she loves hats a lot lol. thank you for this tutorial!! i'll be having fun :DDD

Wow. I’m a visual learner and this has been the best tutorial for knitting/purling. I finally get it! Thank you so much! ❤️
Thank you so much for your help! This is the first wearable thing I've knitted and the first pattern I've followed so thank you for making the instructions so clear :)
Finished my first beanie two weeks ago and this video was so helpful, it turned out so much better than I had expected for the first try. Thank you so much.
✨🤗Thank You!! ..reminds me of the then "movements and sounds" my Grma made with her hands, "sticks", and yarn in the evening, as we snuggled against her on the sofa, quietly listening to the adults visit before bedtime🥰..cant wait to get started❣✨
For someone who wanted to show off and started out knitting with a beanie, I'm surprisingly happy with myself. Thanks for the vid! ❤
Thank you so much for the in depth tutorial! I made my first ever knit project and I learned so many things. Thank you thank you thank you!💜💜💜💜💜💜
What a great tutorial. For a complete beginner it's the best. I've managed to knit the hat for my son sticking rigidly to the pattern. It looks great.
This was the first hat I ever knitted and still keep coming back to this video. It's a good hat.
This actually made knitting so much easier to comprehend. I always thought it was so hard. Thank you!!
Thank you so much! A great step-by-step tutorial for a novice like me.
I just finished this hat and I love it! I didn't know anything about knitting before and I thought that the first thing I could knit is a beanie. I just thought it's quite easy and it really was! Thank you so much for this tutorial, pretty easy and very nice!❤

Thank you for share the techniques how to beginning knitting, very clear, thanks so much ❤️❤️❤️❤️
Such an excellent tutorial, I have now knitted my first hat ❤ thank you x
the tutorial is so easy to fallow even in the first try the hat turned out REALLY amazing
Thank you, I love this way! I have made them this way, but these results are better, so I will make a neater hat now!
Just finished my hat! Your instructions were very easy to understand!! I knit but I've never knit a hat before
I just wanted to say thank you for the tutorial 😊 I already made two beanies and I couldn't be more happier! I gave one to my dad and I also have one.
Thank you for this great pattern and video. I have made about 20 of these for a Hats for the Homeless project at my church. It is easy to follow. I have only been knitting for about 4 years. I have not been able to master the circular patterns. I have even been able to adapt it for various weights of yarn. 😊
OMG Thank you so much for this video! I have watched this like a thousand times. Each time I'm at a new section I come back to the video and follow along that section. My beanie is still a little bit messier than your's and your stitching is so tidy. I definitely messed up in some of the reduction parts hahaha. But basically you taught me how to knit a beanie :) I'm making a second one now so here I am back again watching your videos many more times haha. xx
Thank you so much! Very clear and specific with everything!
Going to start this as my first knit project when I get home! 💜
Thank you so much! I really needed this to make a hat for my grandmother.

That was an amazing tutorial. I made a lot of mistakes, which were my fault, I had never knitted anything before however and I did finish it! My husband was happy to wear it as well. It does fit perfectly. I should have looked for the pattern before placing the stitch markers to view the correct number for the adult size. I will do it again though. I bought yarn today for another one hopefully a totally correct one Thank you so much!

Unbelievable the way you teach so great. I believe that girl 5 years and do it❤❤❤
Thank you, this was/is very easy to follow. I am nearly done my first beanie but Im so happy with my work but I wanted to comment before I forgot.
I had to come back here to say that the beanie turned out perfect! I had never used this technique, and I was a bit afraid about how the top was going to turn out. At the end it was very easy and looked beautiful! I recalculated the points considering the yarn I used (6 ply on a 5 mm needle), and 102 stitches was a great size for a 58 cm head size 😅.
I just finished two of these beanies and I cannot thank you enough! I love them both so much! I didn't think I'd ever be able to knit something that I could actually wear and I just keep putting them on and enjoying how toasty they are! too bad I finished them just in time for summer haha. But best believe I'll be ready for the cold season next year!

Casting on was hard for me and seaming was hard for me. My problem was seaming too tightly. Afraid of seaming too loosely I was drawing that seam up so tightly that the seam was very obvious and ugly. I have practiced and it got much improved but until I could do pretty seaming that was almost invisible I used to use variegated yarn and thst helps to hide the seam.

@@eastlynburkholder3559 I had the same problem with my first beanie! I recently made a second one and perfected my seaming by progressively stretching my work as I seamed, thus allowing the seaming yarn to loosen up. It's a lot cleaner and discreet than the first one. I guess we can agree that getting better is the most satisfying thing there is =p

@@mimimui11 it took me almost forever to cast on and cast off well and I used to cut yarn and throw away the first 8 rows. And seaming fabric was impossible and then one day it was easy and I could not reason out why it had ever seemed difficult. That is why I say keep trying. Also this basic beanie can be done with a background texture stitch or with stripes as one gets better at the basic pattern.
