Just used these instructions to knit my first hat! I only used one color yarn. I love it, thanks for making such a great video!!

My cousin is getting married in a couple of days so I decided to make him a pillow and his fiancée a beanie. Came across this video and decided to try it for myself, but instead of two colors, I did one mint green color with a fabric strawberry charm sewn on the side. This was a great tutorial and this was pretty easy to follow considering I haven't knitted in such a long time. I'm actually pretty proud of the result! Hope she likes it! :D

Thanks for this amazing, detailed tutorial! I knitted my first hat and I love how it turned out. I’m definitely going to wear it during the winter!!

I learned this method of casting on when I was little but have never seen it used again until now. I thought maybe it was something that was made up lol. I was pretty exited to see it again, not going to lie 🤣😂

Summary (for knitting in the round):
7 + 4 = 11in total length before decreasing k2p2
1st decrease row: for every 4 stitches, stitch together stitches 3 and 4
k1p2 4 rows
2nd decrease row: knit together stitches 1 and 2 (using 1 2 3 4 pattern above, where 3 and 4 are now one stitch)
k1p1 1 row
3rd decrease: knit 2 together for entire row
knit final row. Slip off stitches and close up by threading through cut yarn. weave in ends.

Great job on demonstration. How I wish I could have had access to this video when I was much younger. I can really appreciate the skill that goes into any knit caps and sweaters. Thank you for this video. Best wishes. Rose

I'm not gone on the colors of the hat, but totally appreciate the lesson. Plus, I'm in love with the sweater, looks so comfy and it's a really flattering colour on a very pretty girl.

Thank You! I understand what your are talking about! I knitted two scarves. Now I can knit a hat to go with them! Thanks. Grateful for your help.

I just knitted my first ever hat, found it tricky at the decrease, but it's turned out lovely. It's quite large, next time I'll make a smaller size. Pleased with it for a first try. I'm a beginner.

What a lovely straightforward tutorial-my granny taught me way back in the 50's-same casting on👍
