3 Patterns Included - The Basic, The Twisted Swirl, and Twisted Ridges

Using Bulky or Super Bulky yarn, each hat is made with just one skein. One size fits all due to the thickness of the yarn and squishy snugness of the hats.

Wear them with no topper, or add a furry bobble or a yarn pom pom for extra fun - instructions included for the best ways to attach each.

Why I love knitting these hats…
The knitting - relaxing and satisfying to knit, they are on and off the needles in no time at all. Perfect for when I have bigger projects on the go and just want a sit & knit, start-to-finish item.
The wearing - thick & chunky hats are the absolute best way to keep heads and ears warm in cold weather. Plus they look great on everyone! They make lovely gifts for someone you want to give a bit of handmade love to. But… no judgement if you just want to knit a pile for yourself in colors to match everything!
