NEW Pattern Release: the Super Bulky Hat

CLOVER POM-POM MAKER TUTORIAL INCLUDED!
Here’s a wonderfully speedy bulky hat pattern for all sizes, with handy sizing chart columns that you read vertically and a pom-pom tutorial on page 6 for your convenience. This pattern is wonderful for those last-minute gifts that need to be knit up, whether it’s for a baby shower, a Christmas present, or just needing a quick knit when the weather gets chilly!

I spent a long time test knitting my own pattern to have numerous sizes! It all started with my son Sam requesting a Christmas hat (which I accidentally knitted the adult version first).

  1. Love the shape! Is it a close fit, or "slouch"?

  2. Thank you! The fit is mostly non-slouchy, but long enough to cover the ears completely, but there is a spot in the pattern that talks about doing 2-3 rds more for slightly slouchy, and 3-4 rds more for a slouchy hat.
