The Ribbed Family Knit Hat free knitting pattern for women and men is a downloadable PDF that fits on a single US Letter page. The pattern, named Ribbed Family Knit Hat, includes cast-on stitches for three sizes: 67 stitches for 2–4 years, 73 for 8–10 years, and 77 for the adult size.
What the pattern specifies
The pattern calls for Caron One Pound yarn in Ocean (10611), with one 16 oz (453.6 g) ball containing 812 yds (742 m). According to the pattern notes, one ball will make approximately 8 hats in the smallest size, 7 in the medium, and 6 in the largest. You will need U.S. size 8 (5 mm) knitting needles or the size needed to obtain gauge.
Printing and using the PDF
Print the pattern at actual size on US Letter paper, rather than fit-to-page, to keep all measurements accurate. The one-page layout means you can keep the instructions and stitch counts visible while you knit. Useful if you are making matching hats for several family members, since the sizes span from toddler to adult.
