Bulky Beanie Knit Pattern

Chunky Beanie Knitting Pattern

Cozy up in style with the Chunky Beanie, a quick and satisfying knit that keeps you warm all winter long. Crafted with Ari Bulky yarn from Yarn Nerds, this hat combines softness, warmth, and modern texture in one go-to accessory. Made from 100% Superwash Merino Wool, it’s gentle on the skin and easy to care for — perfect for everyday wear or thoughtful handmade gifts.

With sizes ranging from baby to adult large, everyone in the family can have their own squishy, hand-knit beanie. The stretchy ribbed brim ensures a comfortable, snug fit, while the thick, plush fabric provides extra warmth on chilly days. Prefer a slouchier look? Simply knit a few extra rounds before shaping the crown.
