Hat and Earwarmer Patterns

What’s more fun than knitting a hat or earwarmer?  Can you say “instant gratification”?

Knit hat patterns are fun and simple project for beginner and experienced knitters alike.

You can take them wherever you go.  I’ve knit hats and earwarmers in the school pickup line and the carwash.

Earwarmer and knit hat patterns are fun projects to try new stitches and techniques.

Unless otherwise noted, all of the knits pictured here have been knit by myself.  Links are listed for patterns that I did not design myself.  Some of the patterns are inexpensive pdf’s while others are free.

Whatever reason you have for knitting a hat or earwarmer pattern, you will be happy to have it when you are done!
