How to knit a super chunky hat?
Level: Easy
Time to Complete: 1-2 hours
Needles: 20 mm (US 36) сcircular needles
You will need:
300 grams of a jumbo yarn (MERINO MAXI by Knit Design Studio)
1 pair of 20 mm (US 36) circular knitting needles
Gauge: 10 cm = 4 stiches, 10 сm = 6 rows
- Cast on 16 stitches
- 1-15 rows. Knit 16 stiches in a stocking stitch in the round. That means that after cast-on do not turn around and continue knit all stiches until 15 rows. Make sure there is no twist when connecting in the round.
- Connect the second color if you knit in two colors. Tie the ends of a yarn together or use the felting and sewing needle for seamless connection.
- Row 16. Knit 2 stiches together until the end. You will get 8 stiches on your needles.
- Row 17. Knit 8 stiches
- Cut the yarn leaving 10 cm tail. Pull the yarn through the loops and fasten it.
Finishing: Weave in the ends (use felting needles if desired). No blocking necessary.
Enjoy your warm and super chunky hat!
