Measurements and Pattern for Knitting Hats

Measurements for caps

To knit a hat in the round, we start a circle and knit in the round, increasing along the first section (which would be the upper crown), until we reach the centimeters in the “Upper section increasing” column. Then, we knit without increasing another section of as many centimeters as the “Straight section without increases” column tells us.

Pattern for basic hat knitted in the round

a) Section increasing

We make a magic circle. We knit 6 stitches (single stitch throughout the pattern).

Round 1: we knit all increases (12 stitches)

Round 2: knit 1 stitch, 1 increase … and repeat the sequence (end with 18 stitches).

Round 3: knit 2 stitches, 1 increase … and repeat the sequence (24).

Round 4: knit 3 stitches, 1 increase … and repeat the sequence (30 sts).

We continue increasing the sequence in each round: X+1 stitches, increase .

In each round we finish with 6 more points than the previous round.

b) Straight section

Once we have reached the desired centimeters of the section with increase (according to the size to be knitted), we begin to knit a straight section, without increasing.

If in the last round of the previous section we have finished with N stitches , we will do the following rounds all with N low stitches .
