It’s now only hours before you need to have that special present, yet you still have nothing. What are you going to do? Stash dive of course and make this supper easy (yet IMPRESSIVE and FUNCTIONAL) beanie! Worked with one skein of chunky yarn (or 2 strands of worsted held together) and large needles, you could have this hat finished in 2 hours (yes, I’ve timed myself, and it really can be worked up in that time!!). Plus this pattern includes sizes for everyone in the family from Baby Henry all the way up to Great Uncle Steve.

Construction

This chic knit hat is worked in the round from the bottom up, making it a seamless and enjoyable project for knitters of all skill levels. Worked using bulky weight or worsted yarn held double, this hat offers both warmth and a plush, cozy feel. The absence of a brim gives it a modern twist, allowing for a stylish look that can easily be dressed up or down. Whether you’re making it for yourself or as a thoughtful gift, this versatile pattern is perfect for showcasing your favorite yarns and colors. Holding 2 different strands of worsted weight yarn together will give your beanie a wonderful marled color.
