A Modern Twist on a Classic Hat Knitting Pattern

Timeless Tale is the “sister” pattern to the Chapter Three Beanie, a crochet pattern that I designed with loose inspiration from a memorable ball gown worn by one of my favorite fairy tale movie characters from when I was young.

When designing the knit version, I went with a different color, just as vibrant, and spaced the scallop “ridges” a little differently, as well. The result is a modern update of a classic standard hat: a just-a-tiny-bit slouchy, textured, interesting beanie.

What you’ll find here is a knit beanie hat pattern that includes FREE written instructions right here on the blog.  There is also the option to get a printable version, which is a PDF Download formatted for printing that also includes a chart for the stitch pattern. It is available for a very small fee, which you can get right here.

Pattern for Timeless Tale Beanie Hat

• Add to your Ravelry queue right here.

For this pattern, you’ll use medium weight yarn (#4 weight). I used Lion Brand Yarn’s Vanna’s Choice in Colonial Blue, and the whole skein, more-or-less, was gone, which is about 170 yds. For needles, I worked the brim ribbing with Size 6 16-inch circular knitting needles, the main hat body with Size 9 16-inch circular knitting needles, and finished off with a set of 5 Size 8 double-pointed knitting needles.

This pattern is worked in the round. The body of the hat has a 10-stitch stitch pattern that repeats.
