Best stretchy stitch pattern for a hat band

Trying to find a pattern for a band that goes on a hat that will spring back.
So many of mine go on but don’t feel secure.
Thanks for any advice.

stretchy stitch pattern for hat band
by: Ratchadawan

Hi,

2x2 Rib stitch is best in my opinion. Plain stockinette stitch and other ribs also work well.

I would suggest using needles that are 1-2 sizes smaller than those use for the hat body or reduce number of stitches to 90-95% of the total stitches in the hat body. For example, if you have 100 sts for the hat body then you would reduce it to 90 - 95.

There are also spandex yarns that you could use. They are very stretchy but a little bit hard to work with.

Thank you for the question and the visit. I hope you find this helpful and that your next hat will fit you nicely and snuggly.

Happy knitting!

Ratcha

I finished this hat awhile ago but didn’t get a chance to post it. It is my experimental piece. The Pom Pom can be remove when you want to put up a pony tail. Thanks to my models who can tolerates such condition. :)
