Knit 2: A Hat continues your knitting journey by teaching you how to knit in the round and shape your knitting with decreases.
In this session, you’ll work with circular needles and double-pointed needles to create a simple hat. You’ll learn the skills that unlock seamless knitting — continuous, circular knitting from start to finish — and build confidence with shaping, needle changes, and new ways of working your stitches.
Knitting in the round is a foundation for hats, socks, cowls, mittens, and more. The techniques you learn here open up a whole new set of projects.
