About this Product
This listing is for an instant download PDF pattern to knit a textured beanie for men and women.
Mawney is a handsome, unisex beanie that makes effective use of simple knit-and-purl-stitch combinations: A narrow, rolled edging turns into wide ribbing turns into basketweave-stitch sides that turn into a decorative crown with a ring of raised “spokes.”
The hat is knit in chunky (bulky) weight yarn. Chunky yarns vary widely in thickness and suggested gauges. For best results, use a yarn with a suggested gauge of 14 stitches = 4 in./10 cm.

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 glamor?
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!
Elvee
