BFF BEANIE I knit this hat in a fluffy, white roving yarn years

ago and it’s the beanie I reach for the most

(BIG, FLUFFY, FUZZY BEANIE)
when I want to be cute and cozy. This is a warm,
classic, and easily customizable hat that will
keep you warm during snowball fights, evening
autumn walks, and ringing in the New Year.
Using thick yarn doubled up and large needles,
it’s a quick knit that will lift your spirits and your
body temperature.

IMPORTANT
This pattern is written for bulky yarn held
DOUBLE throughout the hat. This means you
will knit 2 strands of bulky yarn as one!

Sizes Notes
Child (Adult Small, Adult Large) If you’d like to add stripes, I recommend
including them in the stockinette section right

Bind off, cut a long tail, and run though the

remaining live stitches. Pull tight and tie off.

Optional
I love the look of this beanie with a big pom
made out of the same yarn. I recommend a
pom about 4 inches in diameter to go with the
big chunky stitches of the hat.
