Knit a Hat Boys Will Love Wearing
Learn how to knit a hat for the boys in your life. No matter how big or small
Once you learn how to knit a hat, it's hard to stop knitting them. But if you have boys at home (whether that's your four year old son or your forty year old husband), you might find them reluctant to don your creations. It seems to be a boy thing. Hats just aren't "cool."
And remember, if you insist on knitting for your beloved boys, a hat is a good compromise. The world is full of breakups following weeks of intensive knitting to produce a beautiful sweater which the man tosses aside with a shrug. So enjoy some free knitting patterns they're sure to wear!
1. Pirate Hat
This pirate hat will be perfect for young boys, and it even includes instructions on how to knit a hat in French -- so if there are any Francophones out there, this will work for you! Depending on how funky your older boys get, this might work for them, too. But I can't imagine a little guy not falling in love with all the skulls and crossbones.
2. Camo Hat
For whatever reason, men love camouflage. Maybe it makes them feel like they're secretly army spies or still G.I. Joe aficionados. Regardless, the boys and men in your life will fall for this camo hat in a hard way -- and that's an order!
There's one requirement if you're going to learn how to knit a hat a man will wear: NEVER let him see a picture of it done up in pink. And since that's what this hat looks like, you'll want to keep your boys far away from the pattern. The finished product, though, looks sleek and classy on men and women alike -- and you can easily find a more palatable color.
4. Ribbed Hat
This is another ribbed hat, a bit simpler than the Toni. If your boys love simplicity or find your knitting too "frilly" this hat will make them smile. This knit cap is exactly what the boys are wearing this season.
5. Men's Cap
The name says it all with this simple, easy to knit hat. Whether you're an experienced knitter or you're just learning how to knit a hat, this will be a great project to usher in the winter and slowly acclimate your men to the idea of wearing hand knit objects.
So if you've just learned how to knit a hat, never fear: there are plenty of patterns for men... that they'll actually wear.
