Sirdar Click Chunky Beret & Hats – Pattern 9060: Knitted Hats for Ages 4 Years to Adult

Pattern 9060 from Sirdar is a downloadable PDF knitting pattern featuring four distinct chunky knitted hat designs — a classic beret and three shaped hats — sized to fit heads from age 4 years through to adult. Each design is worked in Sirdar Click Chunky yarn and offers a quick, satisfying knit thanks to the chunky weight, making these patterns ideal for knitters of varying experience levels who want speedy, practical results.

The Four Designs at a Glance

Red Beret

The Red Beret is knitted in Sirdar Click Chunky shade 130, a rich red colourway. A beret is a classic, flat-crowned hat with a snug headband that flares out into a wide, round crown. This style suits all four size ranges and requires 2 x 50g balls across every size, making yarn requirements straightforward to plan.

Beige Hat

The Beige Hat is worked in Sirdar Click Chunky shade 129. Like the beret, it calls for 2 x 50g balls for all sizes. The neutral beige tone makes this a versatile, everyday accessory suitable for both children and adults.

Blue Hat

The Blue Hat uses Sirdar Click Chunky shade 128. Yarn requirements vary slightly by size: the smallest size (4–6 years) requires just 1 x 50g ball, while sizes 7–9 years through to adult each require 2 x 50g balls. This makes it one of the more economical options for younger children.

Pink Hat

The Pink Hat is knitted in Sirdar Click Chunky shade 131 and requires 2 x 50g balls across all four sizes. The pink colourway makes this a particularly popular choice for younger knitters or as a gift project.

Sizing

All four designs are sized to fit an average child's or lady's head across four size brackets: 4–6 years, 7–9 years, 10–12 years, and Adult. This broad size range makes the pattern a versatile choice for knitters who want a single pattern to cover multiple family members or gift recipients.

Materials Required

• Yarn: Sirdar Click Chunky in the relevant shade per design (shades 128, 129, 130, or 131), sold in 50g balls
• Alternative yarns: The pattern notes compatibility with Sirdar Tweedie Chunky and Sirdar Denim Chunky, though yarn amounts may vary
• Needles: One pair of 6½mm (UK3 / USA 10.5) knitting needles and one pair of 5½mm (UK5 / USA 9) knitting needles
• Cable needle — required for cable stitch elements within at least one of the designs

Techniques and Stitches Used

The pattern draws on a range of classic knitting techniques well-suited to the chunky weight of Sirdar Click Chunky. The use of two needle sizes is typical of hat construction: the smaller 5½mm needles are generally used for the ribbed brim or headband, which creates a firm, elasticated edge that holds the hat securely on the head, while the larger 6½mm needles are used for the main body of the hat to achieve the correct tension and drape.

• Stocking stitch — the primary stitch used across the body of the hats, creating a smooth knit fabric on the right side
• Rib stitch — typically used for hat brims and headbands to provide stretch and a neat, fitted edge
• Cable stitch — indicated by the inclusion of a cable
