Free "Minecraft" Logo Hat Knitting Pattern

Knitted Minecraft Winter Hat for Kids

For those who don't know, Minecraft is an online video game that was launched in 2009. It is extremely popular among kids and adults alike. My eleven-year-old son loves the game. When I started getting back into knitting, he asked me to knit him a Minecraft hat.

If you do a web search, you'll find patterns for a Creeper hat, but he wanted one with the Minecraft logo on it. What you see here is my version of a Minecraft hat using the logo. This is a really easy pattern that can be knitted up in one weekend or even in one day if you have the time. After I made one of these for my son, his best friend wanted one, too!

Hat Sizing

This hat will fit head sizes from about 20–22 inches in circumference, measured around the ears. If you want to make it for larger or smaller head sizes, just increase or decrease the cast-on stitches in increments of 4 stitches.

Materials Needed

Yarn: Vanna's Choice Heathers & Prints, 1 skein in color 404 Dark Grey Heather and 1 skein in color 405 Silver Heather.

• This yarn is 100% acrylic for easy care but is soft and warm.
• If you choose to substitute a different yarn, you can use another that achieves that same gauge of 16 stitches and 22 rows per 4 inches on size 9 needles.

Needles: You'll need a Size 7 circular needle 16 inches long and a set of size 7 double-pointed needles.

Pattern Instructions

Using a circular needle, cast on 80 stitches in Dark Grey Heather. Mark the end of the round with a stitch marker. Join ends together.

Work K2P2 Ribbing for 2 inches.
