Super Bulky Ribbed Hat Using Wool and the Gang Crazy Sexy Wool
The Design
This Super Bulky Ribbed Hat is fast, fun, and fabulous. This free pattern uses a super-chunky-weight yarn in a simple two-by-two rib—the result is a cozy, marshmallow-y squish! Whether you knit up a taller, two-toned version or choose a snugger fit in one shade, the Super Bulky Ribbed Hat is a super-quick knit and a great, last-minute gift!
We knit both of these cuddly hats in super-chunky-weight Crazy Sexy Wool from Wool and the Gang—it takes two skeins for the two-color hat, and just one for the one-color! A single ply of plump Peruvian wool, Crazy Sexy Wool is soft, squishy, stretchy—and so fun on your needles. Plus, Wool and the Gang sources this cozy yarn from happy South American sheep, with consideration to reduce the impact on the environment.
