About this Product
This listing is for a download PDF pattern with instructions to knit this hat.
The Welty Chunky Beanie is a handsome, unisex hat that’s quick and easy to make. It’s a super hat for last-minute gifting or movie-night knitting.
Mostly stockinette, it’s a blank canvas and the perfect showcase for a special handspun or hand-dyed chunky-weight yarn.
Welty is worked in the round from the bottom up. A narrow purl welt right above the ribbed brim adds a bit of panache to this minimalist design. The crown is gathered into soft pleats.
Speaking of blank canvas: One of the pattern testers used left-over sock yarn to embellish her Welty with a gorgeous array of embroidered flowers. Her beautiful hat inspired me to adorn one of my sample hats with a duplicate-stitched big flower for a splash of ’70s flair. The pattern includes charts -- in both color and black-and-white -- for my flower and a photo tutorial on how to duplicate stitch.

Meet the Maker
The Chunky Guy Beanie, pictured here, is my best-selling pattern, with hundreds sold to makers from around the world. The pattern exemplifies what I love most about crochet and knitting: An easy pattern can produce a classic look as well as an enjoyable crafting experience.
Almost all of my patterns use simple, basic stitches. I occasionally venture into intermediate territory -- but only if the end result is worth the extra effort.
One of my favorite activities is to round up a few balls of yarn and experiment with stitches and shapes and color combinations. It's an adventure to find out what kind of hat the yarn wants to be. A sassy, lacy Juliet cap for summer? A rugged, ribbed topper for frigid days? A snazzy fedora that evokes vintage glamour?
I really enjoy doing my small part in bringing warmth and beauty into the world, one hat at a time. My wish is that you enjoy making/wearing/gifting hats from my patterns as much as I enjoyed creating them!
Happy crocheting/knitting!
