I saw a lot of comments asking how long the hat was before finishing it and responded with what I got, but figured I'd add a separate comment with the info. I just finished it to the specified size (100g of worsted weight yarn, 8mm needles, 48 stitches around) and it came to 31" or 78.5cm long before folding and finishing. I hope this helps!

Thank you for the video! I’ve been teaching myself how to knit after years of crocheting. So glad you also continental knit, that’s been the easiest method for me to learn since I’ve been so used to carrying the yarn in my left hand with crocheting. Appreciate the step by step tutorial. Wonderful and beautiful work!

I completely love this pattern. Thanks CJ for posting this video. I just made it in one day, and it looked great! I can't wait to make many more! Although, I played around with the number of casts and rows. It looked great. I used a different size needle (U.S 8 needle) with number 4 yarn, and the result was the same. 👌👌

Just finished a newborn size of this hat..perfect for cold weather. Thank you Danii

Thank you… simple easy instructions… it looks great also. 😊

With some strategic color placement, this seems like a great pattern for making a reversible hat with different colors each way. :)

You're so so so incredibly talented and kind for showing so clearly how to do this for free!! I was wondering if you could make a tutorial on how to knit a sweater with like the aran pattern? (sorry, I dont know what it is called). I know it'll a long process but just asking~

Omg I never thought about doing it like that! Thank you for sharing! Do you block your hats? I'm new to the art and barely found out what blocking is 😅

Wondering how should I knit without the edge side of project waved. This way is so perfect and I don’t need to worry anymore! Thank u❤

I think that you did not show people how to do the bottom part, did you use the needle thread the first round?

I’m an avid crocheter and I’ve always wanted to learn how to knit. I’ve watched so many videos on a knitted hat and this one really sparked my interest! I’m going to try this one. Thank you!

I love a great you explain w hat to do, what a easy project and beautiful job Thank you so much Catherine

Love this, especially your technique! After knitting the old way this is going to feel strange 😄 Thank you so much 🤗

Thank you🙏🏻 Dani. I love your tutorials. I am knitting my first beanie ❤️yay!

Thank you! Your simple designs are perfect for me--I feel I'm learning with every video

Hi Cj, i love how easy you make it for us watching to follow along and knit, could you do a video of a braided knitted hat? ❤

I do like the clover interchangeable needles. I am using 16 inch and no 11 and 8.0 mm.

Love this design! I will make this. It's a perfect beginner project.

Can you do a video on fingerless mittens???

Great patten! I finished it and it looks great and thick, just like a loom knit! thank you so much. I do need help with sewing in the top as it feels a bit thick and chunky in there.

wish you would show how to thread cast on part do we pick up stitches or can you actually pull the thread we start with ?

Good job! I never thought of using just 48 sts on a beanie..

What a great job you did if those hats I am just starting out so I hope mine turns out ok. Thank you so much for showing me how to make such a beautiful hat. 😘😘😘

To close the beanie, can we do the double brim method and then do decreases and what size yarn did you use?

Such a great and easy design. Thank you so much for sharing this. I love it ❤️

@cjdesignsblog, you are an amazing designer and I greatly appreciate your willingness to share your talents with us ☺. I have one question. How to you keep the ends from curling and how is it that you have the same stitch look, on the portion that is folded, too? Thank you!

Could you please tell me if I could use an Aran weight yarn instead of 20sts per inch yarn? Would I need to cast on a different amount of stitches or a different size needle? I love this hat but wish to use a different yarn. Thank you in advance CJ Design for answering.

I doubled my wool and used a size 7m needle, for double knit wool, there is a similar pattern on drops, but this is easier I had to increase stitches to 60

Thank you so very much for sharing this pattern and easy to follow instructions. Excited to get started on one!

Please tell me where i can get my own name markers

I am currently making this beanie. I am using Hobby Lobby's I Love This Yarn. I am currently in 18 rounds and feel like it is too small. I hope it will fit me by the time I am done with it. I thought of adding 2 to the CO but I really wanted to follow the pattern as is. Crossing fingers that it will fit me.

Ok I'm confused at 7:28? So we're making a long tube then basically just folding it in on itself to double it up??

Thank you for this fantastic idea and pattern.

I have a 5.50mm circular needles, US 9. What would change about the pattern if I used them?

Wow! So beautiful! Thanks for sharing. 🥰🌸👍❤️

Thank you so much for your videos. I am fairly new to circular knitting and your videos have helped me tremendously. If I want to use a longer circular needle, how do I determine the amount of stitches to cast on?

Perfect 🎉

Ok, I just figured out that it is double layered hat, thanks for the video'!

I love that yarn! It’s so soft. I made a baby blanket with it recently. Have you made the same hat with smaller needles?

Could this be done with smaller needles?

This looks like a very cosy hat! ❤

Looking going and can't wait to try this pattern. Thanks

Thank you, what a nice and easy hat pattern.

Thank you for the pattern. GOD bless!! I really love it.

How long is the project after you do the 130 rows? I’m using a different sized yarn, so I need to know the length

OMG! Another beautiful hat!! I have my yarn...off to making it ❤️

Love this! May try with Lion Brand Heartland yarn!

thank you, I've always wondered how to sew a hat to keep it a bit thick when it stretches and give a cleaner look. I don't have circular needles of that size but I'll just have to do with DPNs. Can this work on 1x1 Rib too or on Stockinette stitch only?

@cjdesign how is it possible to fold the hat if the inside pattern doesn’t look the same? Is there a trick I’m missing?

Beautiful pattern. I just picked up some beautiful yarn to make this for my 7-month-old, hoping to tweak the number of CO sts. Has anyone made this pattern for a baby / toddler? I read in previous comments that the hat fits somewhat snug for an adult. If using the same weight of yarn and 8mm needles, do you think 36sts CO may work? Thanks in advance. :)

Interesting. The double layer makes a perfect brim and it's super warm as well. I'll give it a try. Thanks!

How many stitches would I need for a size US 15 needle set?

The hat is fantastic

reverse 2 color can add snap or button for faux or color pom

i ndont have a CN small enough. has anyone made this on DPN? is it the same amaount of stitches?

Can I just use the simple cast on method for this?

Can you do a video on no finger gloves with round needles. I have looked on KZfaq and many videos but all using about 5 needle which is very confusing given that I have just started knitting. Also I have only used two needles up to now but you have inspired me to try and make the hat and I have ordered circular needles, which I am waiting to come,

I would like to know, what is the length of your knitted hat in your video? the hatis very nice thanks for the reply

how is your stockinette not curling while doing it??? i struggle with thatt T_T

What size yarn is this?

I ❤your video and the way you explain can you please tell me how much stitches should I cast on for a 6 year old I love to do for my grandchildren hope you can help thank you Gloria

I am using super wash wool, should I block while is long or when I combine both ends?

Your video really useful. Thank you so much ❤️. I have one question. My head is small so I also need make the first 48 steps or shorter than? Hope so you answer my question

hello! what ply of yarn is this?

Great hat! Thank you.

where do you buy the leather patch you did not include the pom pom

Great work and video and teacher.

I have. 24 in circular needle size fine would it work for this pattern I am a beginner

hi, I only have 6mm. to practice with how many stitches should I do?

Thank you so much for another great knitting video! I am confused with how you actually weave in the cast-on side in order to pull and close it. Merry Christmas :)

Great hat. Thanks so much for sharing.

Cj how do you know when to fold it in half

I’d like to knit this with dk yarn (only one I have atm) for my baby boy (12-18months) how many stitches would I have to cast on ? 😌

Maybe my question is silly, sorry but I am a beginner. I bought a 80 mm circular knit, so my knit round is very long and I can't manage to distribute al the stitches along the tube because it's really long. How can I resolve it? Thanks!

Hi there may I know what is the width of the hat before folding the crown ?

I couldn't joint the round on my knitting needles because the clear wire on mine is too long to pull the cast all the way to the other needle. So i switch it non-attached knitting needles but i still don't know how to attach the round

Awesome I love this hat 😁💖💖💖

Thanks for sharing, it's a beautiful hat! Will definitely make many!

my hat seems small with the numbe rof stiches im new to knitting

Can I do this with straight needles?

Hey, I would love to make this for my toddler and little baby, would I just cast on less stitches at the beginning? Thanks so much 😀😘

Hi can you help me, I've tried a few of your crochet designs they came out beautifully. I'm new to knitting, i'm trying to replicate this hat in with circular needles, but the stiches are coming out horizontally instead of vertically! What did I do wrong? I'm Knitting 1 row, purling 1 row. Thank you!

What a cute hat and so easy!! Thanks for sharing!

Esta muy bonito 😍

Can you please tell me the how long is the tub before you close it up? Thank you.

Thanks I will have to try this!

How can I print pattern? Great tutorial

@CJDesign How wide was your tube?

I would ❤️ love to make this for a baby or toddler- Do you have a stitch count suggest for that. Or should I go down a needle size. Any suggestions would be helpful. Thank you in advance

This might be a silly question. But what size is 8mm? Lovely beanie.
