You’ll quickly memorize the repetition of this stitch pattern, making it a breeze to shape. The buttons are totally optional, but they do add a special touch.

2. Rolled Brim Hat
This hat is knit flat and sewn, but you could easily modify the pattern to work in the round. The rolled brim is created when you alternate blocks of knits and purls, so it’s simple enough for even a beginner.

3. Lakeland Tweed Flower Hat
The contrasting color brings a bit of visual interest to the crown of this hat, but if you’re not comfortable changing colors just yet, you can ditch the flower and stripe. The designer also points out that this hat can be stitched for men or women, so it’s a super versatile pattern.

4. Rustic Twist Knit Hat
Trust me: this pattern is much easier than it looks. Even though those twists look like cables, there’s no actual cabling involved. If you can knit, purl and slip stitches then you can complete this pattern.

8. Portland Hat
This is the ideal hat for you if you need to practice your stockinette and garter stitch. The hat is stitches using a chunky-weight yarn so you’ll finish it in just a few hours, even if you choose to stitch the embellishment on the top.

9. Blizzard Beanie
For knitters who want to take plain stockinette stitch just one step further, this pattern uses double stockinette. The result is a thicker, squishier stockinette stitch that is perfect for a warm winter hat. The pattern repeat is only two rows, so you’ll quickly memorize it.

10. Le Petit Cafe Cap
Grab a skein of bulky-weight yarn and stitch up this ribbed hat that’s as effortless to knit as it is to wear. This hat was inspired by the fashion of Paris, so pair it with your favorite French-inspired outfits this winter.
Link to hat patterns still not fixed.
There is still no link to the patterns. I joined at the discount price because I wanted to check out your offerings but I am disappointed that every link I click takes me to classes I am not interested in. It has been almost 6 weeks sine the first complaint and still no obvious progress.
Please fix link to the patterns or give further directions. Thanks
How do you get the patterns? When I click the link it takes me to a search for classes page. I have seen in comments that many are having this problem and are asking for help in the comments but no one is responding.
I love these hats but every time I hit get the pattern I am directed to the knitting classes. Please explain.
