The Peace Beanie is a simple yet stylish chunky knit beanie pattern that’s perfect for adventurous beginners. This fast knit features a combination of five rounds of garter stitch and three rounds of k1p1 ribbing, giving it a modern, textured look. Whether you’re knitting for a newborn or an adult, this pattern has sizing options for everyone, making it an ideal gift or quick project for yourself.

Knit in the round using Premier Yarns Anti-Pilling Bamboo Chunky, the hat is warm yet lightweight, and the anti-pilling feature ensures it stays looking fresh and soft after multiple wears. I used an Italian cast on for extra stretch, but any stretchy cast on will work. While I kept mine pompom-free, feel free to add a yarn or faux fur pompom to make it your own!

Skills Needed:

Knitting in the round
Basic stitches (knit, purl)
Italian cast on (optional, any stretchy cast on will work)
Pattern Notes:

This beanie knits up quickly and is perfect for a last-minute project or gift.
Ideal for beginners who want to try working in the round and experiment with simple textures.
Optional: Add a yarn or faux fur pompom for a fun, personalized touch!
