Visor Beanie PatternThis pattern is done in 1×1 ribbing. It’s up to you what kind of color pattern you use. I personally chose to do a rainbow-striped one.
Materials:
- D.K. weight yarn
- US #5 16" circular needles
- 5 US #5 double-pointed needles
- Stitch markers
- Tapestry needle
- Plastic canvas
- Sewing pins
- Embroidery and/or sewing needle
- Button thread in matching color (to stitch visor in place)
Calculate Stitches:
For a women’s size, I cast on 126 stitches.If you wish to make a size other than the standard women’s, measure around the thickest part of the head above the ears, then subtract 1” and multiply by gauge (6)
Directions:
Cast on calculated amount of stitches using tubular cast-on
Work in 1×1 ribbing for 5 inches. (This is the point that you will fold the edge up to creating the cuff after the hat is knit. Here is where you can switch colors if you want the body to be a different color from the cuff.)
Continue in 1×1 ribbing for 4.5 inches (this is for the women’s size, judge to the best of your ability if you think it should be lengthened or shortened)
Now increase or decrease to make number of stitches a multiple of 8 and split number of stitches into 8 even sections and place markers to begin decreases, switch to dp needles when necessary
K2tog before every maker every other row and cont. for 2 inches
Begin K2tog before every marker every row
Bind off when 8 stitches remain
Finishing:
Weave in ends
Using of the plastic canvas, cut 1 visor using the visor template
Fold up the hat so that the edge meets 5 inches in (2.5 inches in length when folded)
Carefully (don’t snag the hat!) tuck in the visor, stretching the ribbing out across (make sure that the edge still lines up at the 5 inches mark above the visor too)
When satisfied, put sewing pins in to hold it in place
Stitch the visor in securely with the button thread. (Personally, I would sew through the yarn, splitting it to make it extra secure.)
Tacking down the rest of the ribbing is optional

I'm wondering how to get the visor pattern to actual size. There are no measurements. Can you tell me how to print it out the right size?
I've been looking for a pattern like this for weeks! Thanks so much.

Try resizing the print preview to 200% and just printing that one page
