The Trento Hat is an easy knitting pattern in sizes for the family. Knits and purls in a simple four row repeat create this lovely texture.
This beanie knits up fairly quickly in worsted weight yarn. I love how the solid color and texture work up.
Even with this darker purple yarn, the stitches still pop.

Yarn
This hat knits up nicely in Lion Brand’s Basic Stitch, a #4 medium worsted weight yarn. Since I knit it in my daughter’s size having a wearable yarn is a must.
When we take time to hand make our knits we want our loved ones to wear them. This acrylic, anti-pilling yarn makes it easy to keep them looking great too.
I love that the Basic Stitch comes in such a wide variety of colors. They also have a Basic Stitch Premium yarn in this line.
Stitch
I love knitting. The repetition is so soothing to me. The Trento Hat is knit with basic knits and purls.
There is a 4 row repeat that gives us that texture we crave. And it’s simple enough to memorize.

This hat is worked bottom up in the round. We’ll start with a basic rib stitch for the brim. The body of the hat is 4 rnd repeat. To close up the top we’ll do two rounds of decreases and finish off by threading the tail through the remaining live stitches.
