Showing off my hat knitting methods. Discussing the pros and cons of each

Knitted hats never go out of style. I want to share my work and talk a little about which technique is best to use.

## Hat 1 The green hat is the favorite (not my favorite, but my daughter's). There was also a scarf for it, but I'm currently re-knitting it into a cowl, so I'll show it later. It is knitted in the round, seamless.

Pros of this hat are that it stretches very well and can be folded in any direction (you can make a cuff, wear it like a beanie, or fold it at the back). In any case, it will look stylish.

Cons: There is one during the process. You need to carefully follow the pattern so you don't end up with more stitches than necessary.

Hat 2

Made from a rectangle tapered at the top. This hat was also a favorite once, but it doesn't look as cool as the first one. Since there is a seam at the top, I had to add a pom-pom. Otherwise, it looks pointy. The seam on the outside is barely noticeable.

## Pros

Easy to knit, you can see the stitches at the end.

## Cons

The top seam doesn't turn out very pretty. A pom-pom is a must.

And here is another hat knitted using the second method. But here the yarn is thicker and the top has been modified. This version seems more practical and interesting to me. The seams are also barely noticeable, but there is no need for a pom-pom, although there is a hole at the top (its size can be adjusted. We had it for a ponytail).
