Our 10 favorite easy patterns for knitting a hat

There is no shortage of hat patterns on the web. But when you start, it is not always easy to distinguish accessible books and those that require a little more control. Some sites offer a “beginner – intermediate – confirmed” Level filter which allows you to make a first selection. Then check which stitch is used, if the explanations are available or not in French. Another tip: the bigger the wool and the needles, the easier the knitting will be, especially if you haven't mastered the stitch yet. To save you time in your research, we scoured our favorite knitting stores and found some easy patterns for knitting a beanie. It's up to you to see if you want to test one, two, three... and more if you like!
