Materials Required.
5mm and 5.5mm 40cm (50cm, 50cm) circulars needles and 5.5mm DPNs, or sizes needed to obtain gauge.
80m (100m, 120m) chunky yarn for beanie.
100m (125m, 150m) chunky yarn for turn up brim hat.
Darning needle to sew in ends.
Stitch marker to mark the beginning/end of round (optional).

Notes
The hats are knit in the round from the bottom up.
The pattern is written in a line by line format.
I used the cable cast on but any any cast on with some stretch works.
The yardage is based on the hats and beanies I knit. We all know not all chunky yarns are the the same so if you find you use considerably less or more please let me know the yarn you used and the quantity and I will add the information to this page and the pattern.
I am not a pattern designer just some-one who enjoys playing around with stitches and seeing what I can make. If you spot a mistake or have a question please send me a message.

Now for the the boring bit.
With respect please do not take credit for the pattern, claim the pattern as your own or sell the pattern.
By using this pattern you are agreeing to my terms.
Thank-you and Happy Knitting.
