Chunky knitting is so addictive! I created these size 17 circular needles just for making chunky knit hats, and this was the first pattern that I knit with them! I was having trouble finding really chunky circular needles, and not wanting to do the magic loop method (it just does NOT work for me!) I decided to design some super chunky needles that are shorter, and perfect for making chunky beanies! Grab your own pair in my shop here!
