Chunky Beanie by BNMByo
What is Being Made
The Chunky Beanie is a knitted winter hat designed by BNMByo and available in two sizes: adult and child. The adult size fits head circumferences of 21-22.5 inches, while the child size is designed for head circumferences of 18-19.5 inches and initially targets children ages 3-5 years old. Due to the ribbed construction used throughout the pattern, the child size offers flexibility and can accommodate growing children up through the teen years. This beanie is topped with a decorative pom pom for a classic, finished look.
Techniques and Construction
This beanie is specifically designed as a beginner-friendly knitting project that requires only basic knitting knowledge and techniques. The pattern works up quickly, typically completed within a couple of hours, making it an ideal first hat project for new knitters. The construction utilizes ribbed knitting throughout, which provides both stretch and structure to ensure the hat fits comfortably across the size range. The crown is finished using a standard decrease method to shape the top of the hat before seaming and adding the pom pom embellishment.
Stitches Used
- Knit (K) – The fundamental stitch that forms the base of the fabric
- Purl (P) – Used in combination with knit stitches to create the ribbed texture
- Knit Two Together (K2tog) – A decrease stitch used to shape the crown of the beanie
Materials and Tools Required
The Chunky Beanie pattern calls for super chunky weight yarn in two colors. You will need one 100-gram skein of Colour A (approximately 40 meters or 44 yards) and one 100-gram skein of Colour B (approximately 40 meters or 44 yards) for a two-tone colorway. The pattern is worked on US Size 15 (10mm) circular knitting needles in a 16-inch length for the main body of the hat. Optional US Size 15 (10mm) double-pointed knitting needles may be used for working the crown decreases in the round. Additional supplies include a stitch marker for tracking rounds, a large sewing needle for seaming and weaving in ends, a large-sized pom pom maker for creating the crown embellishment, and scissors for finishing.
