Welty Chunky Beanie
The Welty Chunky Beanie is a handsome, unisex hat that’s quick and easy to make. It’s a super hat for last-minute gifting or movie-night knitting.
Mostly stockinette, it’s a blank canvas and the perfect showcase for a special handspun or hand-dyed chunky-weight yarn.
Welty is worked in the round from the bottom up. A narrow purl welt right above the ribbed brim adds a bit of panache to this minimalist design. The crown is gathered into soft pleats.
Speaking of blank canvas: One of the pattern testers used left-over sock yarn to embellish her Welty with a gorgeous array of embroidered flowers. Her beautiful hat inspired me to adorn one of my sample hats with a duplicate-stitched big flower for a splash of ’70s flair. The pattern includes charts -- in both color and black-and-white -- for my flower and a photo tutorial on how to duplicate stitch.
