I recently took an online class from\u00a0Olgalyn Jolly.\u00a0 Olgalyn is a knit textile and knitwear designer in NYC. She also teaches at the Fashion Institute of Technology and the Textile Arts Center.\u00a0 When I saw she was offering an\u00a0online class<\/a>, I quickly signed up.\u00a0 Her class answered my many questions about sewing knits.\u00a0 I highly recommend her class if you want to learn about sewing knits with a sewing machine and\/or serger.\u00a0 When I say, “knits,” I am referring to sweater knits, not the thin commercial knit fabric.\u00a0 To learn more about Olgalyn’s class click here.<\/a><\/p>\n

This tutorial is for simple cut and sew knit beanie hats.\u00a0 I have always wanted to make cut and sew hats.\u00a0 They are simple and quick.\u00a0 This is also a good way to use up leftover knit fabric and swatches.\u00a0 I knit these hats (in photos) with a Passap E6000 and Silver Reed SK840.\u00a0 Single bed fabrics are thin and pliable while double jacquard fabrics are thicker (warmer).\u00a0 The thickness of the fabric may affect the seams.\u00a0 The thicker the knit, the bulkier the seam.\u00a0 This is not a concern, just something I thought I should point out.<\/p>\n

You can use any knitting machine to knit your fabric or even use hand knit fabric.\u00a0 You will need a rectangle of knit fabric which is wide enough to go around your head (minus ease), and tall enough to reach the top of your head\/crown.<\/p>\n

Use a flexible tape measure to measure the circumference around your head just above your ears.\u00a0 Also measure from the middle of your ear to the top\/middle of your head.\u00a0 Once you have these measurements, you will know what size rectangle you need to knit.\u00a0 Since knit fabrics have stretch, you will need to add some negative ease to your head circumference measurement to make the hat tight enough to stay on.\u00a0 I am not going to go in detail about how to get gauge\/size for your hat.\u00a0 This information can be found easily online or in hand knitting books.<\/p>\n

Hats are best when the fabric has some stretch.\u00a0 Avoid 100% cotton.\u00a0 It has no stretch.\u00a0 Wool works very well.\u00a0 Synthetics are also good.\u00a0 Remember the seams are more visible on thicker knits like bulky knits and double bed jacquard.\u00a0 Below, all the hats are double bed jacquard except for the green\/gold which is a single bed fair isle.\u00a0 I do find that wool steams very well and the seams tend to be nearly invisible.\u00a0 The hats shown below where knit with mill end yarns\/synthetics.\u00a0 I did not pay much attention to pattern repeat or matching.\u00a0 If you want a more invisible seam, be sure to have a perfect pattern repeat (this can easily be adjusted in DesignaKnit) and pin the back hat seam carefully before sewing the seam.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Below is a rectangle of fabric knit in double bed jacquard knit on a Passap E6000.\u00a0 This size is good for a women’s medium hat (See ruler measurements in the photo).\u00a0 A starting point for cast on may be to make a swatch 50-0-50 with 100 lock passes (for Passap DBJ).\u00a0 Make a swatch on your machine and figure gauge.\u00a0 You will then know how many stitches to cast on and how many to knit.<\/p>\n

I have the fabric laid out with the raw edge at the top and the cast on edge on the bottom.\u00a0 The cast on edge will be the part of the hat above your eyes.\u00a0 The raw edge\/live stitches will be the crown seams.\u00a0 In the photo below, you are looking at the right side (patterned side) of the fabric.\u00a0 You need to fold the fabric with the right sides (patterned sides) together so you will be looking at the back (wrong side) of the fabric.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

The photo below shows the fabric folded.\u00a0 Right sides are together with the open edge on the left.\u00a0 Be sure to match the edges up good.\u00a0 Pin if necessary.\u00a0 Be sure to sew starting at the cast on edge to ensure the seam matches up perfectly.\u00a0 Take your fabric to the sewing machine and sew the seam from the cast on edge to the top live stitches\/crown.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Below shows the seam sewn.\u00a0 Steam open the seam to flatten.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Photo below- Now you need to use something round to mark the corners of the crown\/live stitch edge.\u00a0 A plate of any size will work.\u00a0 Place the plate by the corner and mark the round edge line.\u00a0 (I am using a yellow chalk marker to mark my lines.). Mark both sides.\u00a0 Then sew on the line.\u00a0 There will be an open gap that is not sewn (see note on next photo).\u00a0 Use a serger or a zig zag to sew another stitch line by first line to reinforce edge for cutting.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Below shows after sewing.\u00a0 Now cut off excess fabric.\u00a0 Note: The top\/middle of the crown seam of the hat is not sewn.\u00a0 Only the corners have been sewn.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Below- Excess fabric cut off.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Below- Now you will fold the hat in half (the opposite direction) to sew second crown seam.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Below- Mark the seam by rounding both corners.\u00a0 You will be sewing across the center seam to close the gap.\u00a0 Be sure mark your sewing line so you do not leave a hole where the two crown seams intersect.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Below– After sewing the seam.\u00a0 Be sure to sew the zig zag or serge the seam to reinforce the edge.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Below– Cut off excess fabric.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

After cutting off excess fabric, steam the seams to flatten.<\/p>\n
