Double-Thick Cuff Hat

My Christmas present to you – free hat pattern and tutorial (scroll down for video). You’re getting your gift early, just in case you want to knit a few of these up for gifts.

Sizes: Small/Medium and Medium/Large (the cuff is very stretchy, S/M will fit most women, and M/L will fit most men)
Needles: Size US 6 (4.0mm) 16” circulars, a second set of circulars in any length in the same size or smaller, US 6 double-pointed needles
Yarn: 2 colors of DK weight yarn, 50 grams each color (details on the yarn I used below)
Additional Materials: Five ring stitch markers, tapestry needle for weaving ends
Gauge: 6 stitches per inch

This pattern is a FREE RAVELRY DOWNLOAD. You can also add this pattern to your Ravelry queue here.

The yarn I used Knit Picks Capra in Magnolia and Blush. The yarn I used in the worsted-weight hat is Knit Picks Wool of the Andes Tweed in Papaya Heather and Oyster Heather. For the hat with the single-row stripes, I used the technique of helix knitting. (Helix knitting is a bit more complicated than a single-color cap, I would recommend using helix knitting in your cap to only more confident knitters.)

The faux fur pompoms are from this Etsy shop, I used the 4″ size.

The purple/pink hat is the larger size, the purple/gray hat is the larger size, the worsted weight hat is the smaller size, the helix knitting (striped) hat is the smaller size.

  1. Thanks so much for the hat pattern, Staci. It is really cute, especially with the pom. Hope you have a wonderful Christmas.

    Love this tutorial, have always wanted to try the double hem. If I wanted to make a beanie with the double hem, no slouch and no pom, how many inches would you knit before starting the decrease? Would you still use the same # of stitches?

  3. Thank you so much fo the pattern. I’ve been wanting to try the cuff since you demonstrated it some time ago. Now I shall.

  4. What a cute hat!!! Thank you so much for the pattern. Just one question. If you are using worsted yarn is the cast on amount the same with size 6 needles or do I go by gauge? Thank you again.

  5. Staci. Thank you. I never fail to learn something new from every video you share. I look forward to making this hat. Certainly more than once.

  6. Thanks so much for the gift! Can’t wait to knit it up. Can you suggest a resource to modify for a chunky yarn? I’d like to start learning how to go that. For now I have the perfect worsted to get started today.

  7. Thank you, for The Holiday Cheers!!
    I am now finally doing your double magic loop on socks!!
    Super fun and yes next is a new winter gear head warmer fashion!!
    Hugs ~ Staci <3

  8. LOVE THIS! Thank you so much. What yarn did you use on the used helix stripped hat? It’s gorgeous!

  9. Great hat! Thanks for the cuff tutorial. As I was working the cuff (a little messy the first time around) I realized the two sets of needles holding the stitches seems to create a perfect foundation for a double knit hat. Have you tried that and if so was it successful? Thanks again!
