Blank Slate Hat Knitting Pattern PDF File

Learning how to knit a hat is a fun and rewarding experience. If you’ve completed your first scarf and you’re looking for a new challenge - then this hat is it!

This hat is called the Blank Slate Hat because it’s a simple, classic design that can be decorated and embellished to suit your taste and personality.

The hat is knit flat on straight needles and then seamed together with mattress stitch for an invisible join.
