So! Having introduced myself, here is my first pattern for all you good, good people out there.
Dr. Rockin's Basic Beanie
Seriously, this beanie is the easiest hat ever. It's on two needles, there's almost no shaping, and all you have to know how to do is knit & purl. It's in rib, so it's nice and stretchy.
This is the first beanie I ever made, and honestly, even novice knitters should find this simple. Notes in parentheses for genuine n00bs. By no means is this terribly original; that said, please don't use this pattern for commercial gain.
You'll Need:
1 x pair of 4mm straight needles
1 x 100g ball (or less) of any 8 ply (beginners are probably best off with smoothly twisted acrylics)
1 x knitter's needle
~*Pattern*~
CO 100 sts.
Work 10 rows in double rib (*K2, P2*, repeat * to * to end).
Switch to single rib (*K1, P2*, repeat * to * to end) and work until the work from the beginning of the single rib is around 8 1/2 ins long- approximately 60 rows, if your tension is anything like mine.
Next Row: K2tog to end.
Repeat row, reducing sts until 5 sts remain. Break off yarn, thread through remaining sts and pull tight. Sew the side edges together, taking care to sew the seam flat so as to avoid a bulky seam.
Aaaaaaand you're done! See? Told you it was easy.
