knitting pattern for a hat for DH

[hidingbehindthesofa]

looked everywhere on the t'internet and can't find a simple pattern for a grown man!! i want to knit him the close fitting kind - i think its called a beanie..
can anyone help? ta everso

I'm making one atm but got the pattern from a knitting book, but I know John Lewis/House of Fraser do knitting patterns for about £2 - can you get to a store and find a hat pattern there?

Have you looked on knitty? theres some beanies in the archives

is this any good?

hi dizzday,
thats a good pattern. jamilia - i looked on knitty but their paterns all seem to be with circular needles which i dont know how to use. are there any insturctions on line for knitting with circular patterns.
thanks

I always recommend this one as it turns out nice and flat: top down hat. For circular knitting, this is good: www.knittinghelp.com/ And this site:
tech knitting

Theres a short rows one on knitty , it's in garter stitch but could be done in stocking stitch, the beauty of it is that it's not got many stitches as you knit it sideways . DS2 wanted a hat like an orange last winter and i used the pattern Tychus

brilliant. thanks so much.
dh will have his beanie in arsenal colours for christmas!!
(p sanyone have a pattern for arsenal hat?)
