The Bulky Ceilidhe’s Beanie is a textured, ribbed hat with directions for adjusting the amount of slouchiness to suit your style. Make it more fitted on top, give it extra slouch, or follow the main directions for a relaxed beanie somewhere in between. This pattern also includes a bonus Ear Warmer/Headband pattern which I designed to use up the leftover yarn from the second skein. It’s also a great stash-buster which can also be made using two strands of worsted (4) yarn held together!

Using all single and double crochet stitches for the main body of the hat, this pattern is easy to follow with a beautiful, interesting, bumpy texture. The ribbing is added seamlessly with front and back post double crochet stitches, completing the look and keeping your beanie comfortably in place.
