Winter Bluffs: A free hat pattern

I kicked off 2021 with a free pattern, the Beacon Hat and Cowl set, and I’m really excited to bring you another super simple, bulky weight hat pattern to kick of 2022!

This is a one-sized fits many adult beanie that knits up quickly on US 10 (6.0 mm) and US 10 1/2 (6.5 mm) knitting needles. This simple bulky beanie is a perfect quick knit to kick off your new year knitting. Knit one for yourself or for that knitworthy person in your life that deserves a new hat in 2022!
