Your next step in knitting confidence.
What do you do, once you've knitted endless plain scarves, bookmarks and potholders?
It's time for something shaped, something fitted, something that makes you feel like a real knitter.
Ribbing, shaping, and sizing may all seem confusing, and patterns often assume you already know how to navigate them.
That’s why I created Hat Knitting Bootcamp—a step-by-step guide designed to take you from “Where do I start?” to “Look, I made a hat!”
Hats might seem complicated at first, but with the right guidance, they’re one of the most satisfying things to knit. They’re quick, practical, and teach you essential skills that will unlock so many future projects.
In this course, you’ll follow a structured path, starting with simple techniques and gradually adding new skills.
With each hat, your confidence will grow—and by the end, you’ll be reading patterns, shaping stitches, and knitting hats without hesitation.
You'll finish with:
🧶 A collection of four beautifully knitted hats in different styles.
🧶 Confidence in shaping, ribbing, and reading patterns.
🧶 The skills to knit hats for life—whether for yourself, loved ones, or gifts.
🧶 No previous hat-knitting experience needed—just bring your yarn, needles, and we can cast on together.
Each hat in this course builds on the last, adding new techniques in a natural, approachable way. By the time you finish, you’ll have the skills to knit hats with confidence—without second-guessing a single stitch.
Your first hat will feel simple and approachable, setting the foundation for everything that follows.
We’ll start with ribbing, learn how to shape the crown, and introduce two-colour knitting for a stylish, beginner-friendly beanie.
Now that you’ve mastered shaping, we’ll explore how to adjust fit and style.
This hat introduces slouchy shaping, helping you gain confidence with more structured shaping and smooth colour changes.
Yes, you can knit cool hats too! (with stripes😎)
Time to refine your shaping skills with a flat-top classic.
You’ll learn how to work increases and structured shaping, creating a cosy, elegant beret that’s both fun to knit and effortless to wear.
Your final hat brings everything together while adding a creative twist!
With this playful design, you’ll master shaping techniques that give structure and personality to your knits—perfect for children, adults, and anyone who loves a whimsical touch.
(When I first gifted this, the recipient wouldn't take it off, not even for bedtime!)
"I was nervous about knitting hats, but this course broke it down so clearly that I finished my first one in just a few days! Now I can’t stop knitting them.”
"I never thought I could knit a hat that actually fits! After finding Hannah everything makes sense. I can't thank you enough for how well you explain the process and how much you've helped me."
Hats are the perfect next step in your knitting journey—quick to knit, practical to wear, and full of skills that will expand your confidence with every stitch.
With step-by-step guidance and a gentle learning curve, Hat Knitting Bootcamp will take you from hesitant to hat-knitting with ease—without frustration, guesswork, or second-guessing.
🎓 By the end of this course, you’ll have four beautifully knitted hats, a solid foundation in shaping and pattern reading, and the confidence to knit hats for life.
