The knitting stitch, also called sand stitch, is ideal for beginners. The hat knit pattern without hats from Stitch Beanie mixes reverse stitches between the knitting stitches for a nice texture. If you can knit and mend, you can master this pattern in no time. It has a lot of stretch with a slight sag and is perfect for the autumn weather. A simple texture and a soft yarn are all you need for this classic hat. Many thanks to Yarnspirations and All About Ami for sharing these free knitting patterns.
