Its not a great secret that I have a lot of yarn that I dont know exactly what it is.
Occasionally, I can go through my Ravelry stash and figure it out. However I have a yarn that I was sure was one kind, so I didn’t have to look it up, but since I’ve used it in this hat, I’m pretty sure it isn’t what I’ve been thinking.
A quick gander through my Ravelry stash tells me I’m right, it’s not what I thought it was.
So, here it is, my basic knit chunky beanie:
Supplies:
1 skein Lion Brand Wool Ease Chunky
Size US 13, 9mm needle, for working in the round
Stitch marker
Yarn needle for weaving in ends
Cast on 38 stitches. Join for working in the round. Place stitch marker, if using.
K1, p1 ribbing for 4 rows
Row 1: k all stitches
Repeat until work measures 7.5″ from cast on edge. Directions between **, repeat to end of row
Decrease as follows:
R2: k2tog, k17
R3 and all odd rows: k all stitches
R4: *k7, k2tog*
R6: *k6, k2tog*
R8: *k5, k2tog*
R10: *k4, k2tog*
R12: *k3, k2tog*
R14: *k2, k2tog*
R16: *k1, k2tog*
Cut yarn, weave through remaining stitches , pull tight and tie off.
