Turn A Square Hat? All Answers

Pen

I personally don’t know how to knit, but I have a heart for knitters. My oldest daughter Kendra has been knitting for about 9 years. She designs her own patterns and dyes her own yarn. It’s amazing to see the projects she creates, but before she became an amazing knitter, she practiced – a lot!

So what is a mother supposed to do with a million small knitted checks and long knitted “scarves”? Everyone is valuable and you don’t want to discourage your budding knitter. Christmas is just around the corner, so why not make some homemade gifts? Here are a few ideas.

8 homemade gifts from a knitted square (or rectangle)

1. Napkin holder

Take two opposite corners of the square and sew them together. You can add an embellishment like a bow or a felt flower using hot glue.

2. Coffee cozy

Measure the circumference of a paper coffee cup. Create a rectangle (4 inches high and as long as the circumference measurement) and sew the short ends together. Slip into your paper coffee mug so your hands don’t get too hot and your coffee doesn’t get cold.

3. Fingerless gloves

Measure hand width and multiply by two. Knit a square, each side of which is equal to this measurement. Fold in half and sew two sides together, leaving an open space for thumb to stick out.

4. Potholders

There are two types of potholders you can make from a square. The first is just your simple square potholder. It is best made of wool, then felted. To do this, make a square about 50% larger than you want your finished pot holder to be. Then wash the pot holder in hot water (in the washing machine) and dry in the dryer.

If you want a potholder to slip over the handles of your pans (e.g. cast iron or stainless steel), simply fold the felted square potholder in half and sew the sides together.

5. Headbands

This is fun for young girls. Measure the circumference of their heads. Have her knit a rectangle that is about 2 inches wide and the length should be slightly shorter than the girth of her head (the ribbon will stretch). To decorate the headband, attach felted shapes with a hot glue gun.

6. Baby shoes

These cute little booties are a no-brainer. My daughter Kendra has a tutorial to make them in five easy steps.

7. Phone/camera/sunglasses case

Measure the length of the item you wish to make a case for and add approximately 1 inch to the length. Knit a square of the length and width of your measurement. Fold in half and sew the sides and bottom together. Take a piece of yarn about 12 inches long and weave it in and out around the top edge of the case. Tie the ends of the yarn together and use it to drawstring the case.

8. Checkers

Knit 32 black squares and 32 white squares. Sew together in an alternating pattern. Kendra made yo-yos for checkerboard patterns, but you can use whatever you have on hand.

Felted Shapes

These are easy to make and can be used to decorate the knitting projects above. Knit a square of any size from wool yarn. Using a fine yarn creates a thin (and easier to cut) piece of felted wool. Wash with hot water (in the washing machine) and tumble dry. The fibers in the wool combine to form a solid piece of felted wool.

This is a great project for beginners as it doesn’t really matter if the stitches aren’t perfect. You can’t tell once it’s felted. After the square is felted, cut out the desired shapes (flowers, hearts, bows, etc.).

Once you become familiar with knitting patterns, you may want to resize a project. For example, you may want to scale down an adult hat knit pattern to a child’s size, or make an older child’s hat that was written for a baby.

The good news is that most hat knitting patterns can be resized relatively easily. The only trick is intricate pattern stitches, cables, or color work that you may need to adjust to make the hat look right.

Basic hat pattern resizing steps

The same concepts apply regardless of what type of pattern the design uses:

Find out the size you want. Knit a swatch. Multiply the stitches per inch by the inches required to get an approximate sprue count. Refine them as needed to match the stitch pattern and decrease pattern, or change the decrease rate as needed. Decide how long you want your hat to be. Knit and enjoy your new hat.

It’s easier with simple patterns where the math isn’t complicated.

Gauge Math Your gauge is the number of stitches per inch you knit with your needle and yarn combination. Multiply your gauge by the number of inches you need to get the number of stitches to cast on. Gauge x inches = stitches required

zoom out

First look at a simple hat pattern and try to make it smaller. For example, a good pattern to start with is the scarf hat, which is a simple stocking stitch hat with a garter stitch edge.

This hat is meant to fit a teenager or a small woman, but what if you wanted to make one for a five year old?

Hat sizing can be a little tricky as every head is a different size and grows at different rates. You can use the charts at Bev’s Country Cottage as a general guide if you don’t have the person you’re knitting for around to measure them.

The chart tells us that a five year old should have a head that is between 19 and 20 1/2 inches. Since this age range is between four and ten, something closer to 19 inches would probably work. Because hats are stretchy, you can knit a hat that is 1 1/2 inches smaller than the actual head circumference and it still fits well.

The chart also suggests the hat should be 8 1/2 inches deep. With this particular hat, you could go shorter since the scarf serves as earflaps (the teen size hat, for example, is only 7 1/2 inches).

Now that you have your measurements, you should knit a gauge to see how many stitches per inch you get with your chosen yarn and needles. Since you’re basically rewriting the pattern, you can choose a yarn that gives you a different gauge and then adjust your math accordingly.

For simplicity, let’s assume you have five stitches in 1 inch, just like the pattern suggests. If you are knitting a 19″ diameter hat, cast on 5 stitches per inch by 19″ for a total of 95 stitches.

Does this number work for the rest of the pattern? Given that this hat is made up of garter stitch and stockinette stitch, it is. That’s because none of these stitch patterns rely on a specific multiple of stitches.

The number also works with how the decreases are written. Decrease from the original pattern starts with knit three, knit two together, which takes multiples of five to come out evenly. Since 95 is evenly divisible by 5, this pattern works with no changes other than the number of stitches cast on and the length of the hat. You may need to add or remove a few stitches to make a different pattern work.

sizing

Working the other way uses pretty much the same method. This time, take a look at the moss stitch baby hat and suppose you want to knit it for a one-year-old child.

Back to the size chart: a toddler’s head circumference can range from 18 to 20 inches. The finished hat may be 17 inches long to allow for stretching to fit. The table also suggests 8 inches for the length.

You would knit a swatch. Using the example of five stitches per inch, you would multiply five stitches per inch by 17 inches to get 85 stitches needed.

For both the rib and moss stitch used in this pattern, we need a number of stitches that divides by 2, which 85 does not. However, you can either go up or down a stitch and you’ll be fine. Try 84 stitches.

If you look at the shape, the decreases in the first round show a wide variety of decrease options. You might want to get out your calculator and see what 84 divides evenly into. The answer is four, so it would be easiest to skip that first round of decreases and start with a round of working two, working two together (requiring four stitches each time). It won’t make much of a difference in the finished hat.

For some patterns, when a project is knit flat (e.g. a shawl, or perhaps a garment that is knitted in pieces and hemmed like Beleza shown above), the Tools Required section may list straight needles. But as many of you know, circular needles can also be used to work on flat pieces. We’ve been asked a few times if we could use circular needles instead of straight needles, so it’s time for a blog post! The short answer is yes, absolutely. Use the type of needle that is most comfortable for you.

A slightly longer variant works like this: Both circular knitting needles and stockinette knitting needles have their uses. Many of us started knitting on straight needles, so we feel more comfortable having those two separate needles for flat knitting. That’s okay!

Some of us are more comfortable with flat knit and circular knit circular needles. And you can absolutely use these in patterns that require straight needles. I can’t think of a pattern I’ve ever knitted where the pattern called for straight needles and could only be worked with straight needles (I’m sure there are patterns that would break that rule, just saying I’ve got ‘am haven’t come across it yet).

Personally, I prefer to work all my pieces on circular needles for the following reasons:

Most of the time I knit large pieces with a good number of stitches and I have found that having all the stitches bunched at the ends of straight needles leads to weight overload and wrist fatigue for me. If I can distribute the stitches on a circular cord, the weight is evenly distributed and doesn’t cause pain (with reasonable knitting time – always remember to take breaks and rest your eyes and hands!).

For many projects that knit in the round, I like to start by working my cast-on layer and then after a few rows work in the round – this makes it easier for me to see if my stitches are twisted before I finish. It would be an extra step if I started with straight needles and then switched everything to circular needles.

If you need to change needle sizes and have interchangeable circular needles, you can leave the work on the cord and simply swap out the needle tips when the pattern dictates changing the needle size – easy as pie!

All in all, if you prefer to work flat pieces with straight needles, go for it! Knitting is meant to be fun and you should use whatever method works best for you.
