Chunky Beanie Hat

A KNITTING Pattern by Liz Chandler @PurlsAndPixels

Use this Chunky Beanie Hat knitting pattern to make cozy hats for yourself and the whole family. After you have learned to knit, purl, work in the round, switch needle sizes, and make decreases you can knit these extra thick hats. You will start by working from the bottom up, and making a knit, purl brim. Adding a smooth stockinette top to the knit-purl-rib brim creates a classic knit look. To make the hats extra-warm, you will hold two strands of yarn together as if they were one strand as you knit.

Choose double point needles, short circulars, or long circulars, and follow the instructions to knit in the round in your favorite method. Between the ribbed and smooth sections of this pattern, you will practice switching needle sizes and yarn colors.

With this pattern download, you will receive instructions for Preemie, Baby, Toddler, Child, Adult, and Adult XL sizes.

How these Chunky Beanie Hats are Made

This pattern can be knit in the round in three different ways. Instructions are included for double point needles, the magic loop, and shorter circular needles. Pick your favorite method to knit in the round, then follow the instructions that match your chosen needles.

Materials

Make these hats with two strands of worsted weight yarn held together as one. I designed the hat using Caron Simply Soft yarn in solid colors. Try their variegated “Paints” yarn line to spice things up. Or, you can substitute almost any worsted weight yarn in this pattern successfully; just check your gauge before you start.

Skills

This is a beginner to intermediate knitting skill level pattern that requires a general understanding of knitting in the round, knit stitches, purl stitches, switching needle sizes, and decreases.
