Is it hard to knit a hat?

How much time does it take to knit?
The median time is about 21 hours of knitting. This sits right around the median knitting time for sweaters made out of my favorite yarn weights (DK: 24 hours, Worsted: 21 hours). However, I’ve also made one or two sweaters out of Fingering weight, which has an estimate of 32:20 hours.

Which is faster knitting or crochet?

In the crown of the hat, decrease rounds are worked until 5–8 stitches remain.

Knit Beanie. The hat uses basic knitting stitches – knit and purl, to create 2×2 ribbing for the main body of the hat.
