And now, here are the two ‘easy-peasy’ knit hats that will soon become a staple in your winter wardrobe!
Purl Soho’s Simple Pleasures Hat is surely simple and definitely a pleasure. Super soft, slightly slouchy, and 100% lovely, it’s one of our favorite hats around!
The first appealing feature of this hat is the wide 2×2 ribbed cuff. Knit up holding two strands of fingering weight yarn held together, it is thick and cozy right where you want it.
The second feature is the soft halo that rises above the cuff. A mixture of one strand of fingering weight yarn, held together with one strand of lace weight mohair and silk, creates a fluffy little cloud that will never weigh you down, yet keeps you toasty warm.
An easy knit, this hat is knit in the round using rib stitch and stockinette stitch. Suitable for all knitters, including beginners. It would also make a fabulous gift, either knit up or as a Kit for a fellow knitter!!
This pattern is available for free.

Yarn A: 170 (205, 260, 315, 352) mtrs of fingering weight yarn [shown in a fingering weight 100% merino]

Yarn A Choices:
Yarn B Choices: (1 ball of either yarn will complete any size hat, including the largest size.)
If you prefer a more colourful hat, why not look at these alternatives for ‘Yarn A’?
Hat # 2…
The BONJOUR / HI HAT is a super simple and very wearable pattern that knits up quickly with laceweight mohair-silk yarn held double. Light and airy, it’s the perfect hat for transitioning from fall into winter and, because it practically knits itself, you may just want to make a wardrobe of these!
Gauge: 19 stitches and 24 rows = 4 inches in Stockinette, after blocking
One Size:
Finished circumference: 18.5" / 47 cm
Finished height: 11.25" / 28.5 cm
This pattern is available for free.
Needle sizes:
4.5 mm (US7) x 40cm (16”) circular, or size needed to obtain gauge
5 mm (US8) x 40cm (16”) circular, or size needed to obtain gauge
5 mm (US8) double pointed needles, or size needed to obtain gauge
Yardage:
235 m (257 yards) of the laceweight mohair (held double throughout)
OR
118 m (130 yards) of Fingering weight yarn (held single strand, not doubled).
YARN:
May we suggest ordering Berroco’s Aerial - 65% Superkid Mohair, 35% Silk; 260m/25g; $16.98. One ball of Aerial will make the hat.
OR choose from our in-stock lace weight mohair yarns – 2 balls are needed, as the yardage is slightly less than the 235 mtrs required to complete the hat:
Sugarbush Drizzle - 76% Superkid Mohair, 24% Silk; 200m/25g; $11.98
Katia Silk Mohair - 70% Superkid Mohair, 30% Silk; 200m/25g; $11.98
Should you want to use just a single strand of yarn for your hat, you can select from ANY of our in-stock Fingering weight yarns, like our sumptuous Eco Llama, for example.
