Aspenglow Biggie is a bulkier, even quicker-to-knit version of the Aspenglow Hat. The stitch pattern is simple but so much fun to work, and the pattern is beginner-friendly. This is a great way to show off highly variegated or speckled yarns, but the texture works well with solids and tonals, too.

Using an easy-to-learn twisted rib stitch throughout, this hat is easy to make and creates a comfy, squishy texture that you will love to wear. Because it’s a ribbed hat, it’s very stretchy, so the sizing accommodates kids and adults, and the pattern works for men and women alike. Great with a pompom or without!

This pattern came into being after seeing a chic woman wearing a chic scarf sitting at an outdoor table at a cafe in New York. It is an “infinity” scarf because instead of being just a long rectangle, the ends of the scarf are grafted or seamed to create a long “O” shape which can be looped around the neck.
