For a nice loose and stretchy rim, I used 6mm needles to cast on,
using the Old Norwegian cast on method. Here's a good tutorial.

Hi Karen! Thank you SO MUCH for posting this pattern. I had been struggling for a while to find a hat/beanie pattern that was easy to understand. I have been knitting for a while but never attempted to knit a beanie. After knitting this pattern I was able to knit tons of hats and beanies! I went hat crazy. (; I made a few adjustments to the pattern which can be viewed on my Raverly account here: http://ravel.me/childpray/va3gr
ReplyDeleteThank you again. Do you think you could write and post a pattern for mittens? I would LOVE that! *hugs*
