Hats in Hayfield Bonus Super Chunky – Pattern 10625: Two Knitted Hat Designs

This downloadable PDF knitting pattern from Hayfield contains instructions for two distinct super chunky hat designs: the Sunset Hat and the Striped Rim Hat. Both are worked in Hayfield Bonus Super Chunky yarn, making them fast, satisfying knits that are ideal for intermediate knitters looking to create stylish, warm accessories. The super chunky weight means these hats work up quickly on large needles, delivering cosy results with minimal time investment.

The Sunset Hat

The Sunset Hat is a multicolour knitted hat that uses four shades of Hayfield Bonus Super Chunky to create a warm, gradient-inspired colourwork effect reminiscent of a sunset palette. This design is a great introduction to working with multiple yarn colours in a single project without the complexity of stranded colourwork.

Yarn Colours Used

• Yarn A: Shade 574 Cornfield – 1 ball
• Yarn B: Shade 577 Cantaloupe – 1 ball
• Yarn C: Shade 647 Burnt Orange – 1 ball
• Yarn D: Shade 610 Cornflower – 1 ball

Techniques and Stitches

• Stocking stitch (stockinette stitch) – formed by alternating knit rows on the right side and purl rows on the wrong side, creating a smooth, classic fabric
• 1x1 rib – worked by alternating knit 1 and purl 1 stitches across the row, creating an elastic, stretchy band typically used for the brim of the hat
• Colour changes – multiple yarn shades are introduced at intervals to build the sunset stripe effect

The Striped Rim Hat

The Striped Rim Hat is a two-colour knitted hat featuring a striped ribbed brim as its defining design detail. Using just two contrasting shades of Hayfield Bonus Super Chunky, this hat is a stylish yet straightforward project that showcases how effective simple stripe sequences can be in chunky knitting.

Yarn Colours Used

• Yarn A: Shade 611 Sapphire – 1 ball
• Yarn B: Shade 577 Cantaloupe – 1 ball

Techniques and Stitches

• 1x1 rib – the alternating knit 1, purl 1 pattern is used to create the stretchy striped brim, with colour changes between stripes adding visual interest
• Stocking stitch – used for the main body of the hat above the ribbed brim
• Two-colour striping – alternating between Sapphire and Cantaloupe to create the distinctive striped rim effect

Materials and Needles

Both hat designs are knitted using Hayfield Bonus Super Chunky yarn (shade reference F032), which comes in 100g balls. This yarn is a robust, super chunky weight that produces a dense, warm fabric perfectly suited to winter hats and accessories.

Needles Required

• 10mm knitting needles (UK 000 / USA 15) – used for the main body of both hats
• 8mm knitting needles (UK 0 / USA 11) – used as a secondary needle size, typically for the ribbed sections to ensure a neat, firm brim

Tension

• 9 stitches and 12
