Easy Knit Hat Pattern Circular Needles Moss Stitch

This Irish moss stitch hat pattern is an excellent project for anyone who is learning how to knit in the round.

I wanted to share with you an easy hat to knit, that has ribbing for the brim and double moss or Irish moss for the main body of the hat.

This hat is perfect for the colder weather, as it has been knit with medium-weight yarn, I chose a green color in Alize Lanagold Classic.

This Is An Easy Hat Pattern

The hat pattern is easy to make, with advanced beginner knitters in mind.

Using knit and purl stitches, you will create ribbing, Irish moss stitch, knit in the round, plus decrease, and shape.

If you have never knit in the round before, you can watch my tutorial on how to do this here.

How To Knit Irish Moss Stitch

This 4-row repeat knit stitch pattern is a variation of the Seed Stitch and has a really great texture.

The Yarn I Used…

I made the knitted beanie hat using a medium-weight (04) yarn – Alize Lanagold Classic in green (29).

The Alize yarns may be hard for some of you to find, but you can purchase them on Etsy or from YarnStreet.

Any medium-weight yarn 04 (worsted, Aran, fisherman) will be okay to use for this pattern.

This hat is perfect for fall or winter days walking through town and wearing it to the park when walking your dog!

Wherever you want to wear this hat, it will be sure to keep you warm and toasty, protecting you from cold winds and cool temperatures.

I love wearing a beanie in the winter and my favorite is this ribbed hat I wear this all the time.
