Chunky Ghost Knit Hat
A Knitting Pattern by Liz Chandler @PurlsAndPixels
If you’re searching for an easy Halloween knitting pattern, this Chunky Ghost Hat Knitting Pattern PDF is the perfect quick and cozy project for fall. Knit a spooky, handmade ghost hat in about an hour using super bulky yarn and one simple stitch.
Picture this: it’s the night before Halloween. The store aisles are pure chaos. Shelves are half-empty, costumes are tangled up in plastic wigs, and glitter is floating through the air like confetti from bad decisions. You’re standing there, holding a crinkly polyester ghost cape that smells like balloons and costs more than it should. You sigh, put it back, and know there’s got to be better way.
Now imagine this instead: you’re home in your favorite hoodie, cozy socks on, bowl of candy at your side, and Hocus Pocus playing in the background. There’s yarn in your lap, cocoa on the table, and that little spark that says, I can do this my way.
That’s where the Chunky Ghost Hat Knitting Pattern PDF comes in. This is your cozy rebellion; your choice to make something soft, spooky, and completely your own instead of buying something loud and itchy. With one stitch (just knit!), super bulky yarn, and about an hour of calm, you’ll have a hat that’s part ghost, part comfort blanket, and all handmade charm.
About the Knitting Pattern
This pattern is written for real life: clear, beginner-friendly, and stress-free. You’ll knit in the round on circular needles, watching your little ghost take shape with every stitch. No purls, no panic, no complicated steps. Just slow, steady knitting that feels like a deep breath.
When you’re done, you’ll have a chunky ghost hat that looks like it drifted right out of a cozy Halloween dream. Add button eyes if you want a friendly ghost or leave it plain if you like a quiet haunt. Either way, it’s proof that staying home, making something with your hands, and doing it your way always feels better than battling the fluorescent crowds.

This hat is knit from the bottom up using only knit stitches, with a rhythm so calm it feels almost spellbinding. It’s perfect for learning, relaxing, or sneaking in a little Halloween magic after dark. When your hat is tall enough, you’ll finish by threading your yarn through the last stitches and pulling it tight. You’ll end up with a soft, stretchy, and delightfully ghostly hat that’s as comfy as it is charming.
Materials
I designed the Chunky Ribbed Knit Hat using Bernat Softee Chunky yarn in the color “White.” You can substitute almost any super-bulky weight yarn in this pattern successfully; just check your gauge before you start. Wool Ease Thick & Quick by Lion Brand Yarn, Hometown by Lion Brand Yarn, KnitPicks Tuff Puff, and Malabrigo Rasta all work great, too.
Skills
This is an easy knitting skill level pattern that requires a general understanding of knitting in the round, the long-tail cast on, knit, and finishing knit hats. If you are not familiar with these skills, find quick, free lessons in my Learn to Knit Guide.
Care
If you use the materials called for in the pattern, your final product will be machine washable. To keep your hat looking its best, hand wash or machine wash separately on delicate cycle in cold water. You may tumble dry on low heat or lay flat to dry.
