Basket weave is a simple, charming pattern that's a lot of fun to play with. This easy pattern shows you how to knit a hat with a band of basket weave that creates textural contrast with the stockinette stitch surrounding it. The Bulky Basket-Banded Hat is a great knitting-for-beginners pattern because it knits up quickly without using any complicated stitches. The simple design can be made for men or women, depending on which color combination you choose. Or try making it in just one color to let the wonderful variety of textures really shine.
