How to Knit a Pittsburgh Steelers Hat: Step-by-Step Guide

Hello! I saw that one of the users asked for Pittsburgh Steelers patterns. My brother asked me to knit him a Pittsburgh Steelers hat, so I found the pattern.

Sizes

Average Adult Head.

Finished Measurements

22” circumference

Materials

• Cascade Yarn's 220, 1 hank of #7827 (A), 1 hank of #8555 (B)
• One set of 16” circulars and double point needles of size 7 or size needed to obtain gauge

Gauge

In Stockinette Stitch Pattern with larger needles, 18 sts and 24 rows = 4". To save time, take time to check gauge.

Stitch Patterns

K1 P1 Rib Pattern (over multiple of 2)

Every Round: *K1, P1; repeat from * around.

Stockinette Stitch Pattern (over any number of stitches)

Row 1 (Right Side): Knit around.

Notes

• ♦ Ribbed brim is folded up, therefore is knit “wrong side out” until the stockinette portion begins.
• ♦ Change to double point needles when stitches don’t reach around circular needle.
