Can we discuss this cold weather that is upon us? If I’m begin honest, I am NOT looking forward to wintertime. Being a native Texan, it’s all about the warm weather and the sunny summer days. But, luckily we usually only have to tolerate the cold for a short period and then we’re back to warmer days. So, since it’s inevitable that there will be some brief cold weather coming this winter I have released my first beanie pattern of the season, the SASSy Swirls Bulky Beanie.
EVERY WINTER HAS A SPRING.
H. TUTTLE
This is an extra cozy beanie that promises to keep you super warm. The chunky beanie pattern has amazing texture and works up quickly with the bulky yarn. It’s the perfect stylish beanie to add to your Winter accessories!!
Inspiration
The SASSy Swirls Bulky Beanie is another one of those patterns that has been patiently sitting in my WIP bucket for quite some time. I started it last year, actually got it written up, but, again, I didn’t have time to get it tested and released. I know, I know…I’m a bit slow at getting designs out, but I’m working on moving a little faster!!
So here we are a year later and I’m super excited that the SASSy Swirls Bulky Beanie is finally here for y’all to enjoy!!
This beautiful new crochet pattern is perfect to use when making hats for your markets or for gifting this Holiday season.
If bulky makes aren’t your thing stay tuned, I have 2 other versions coming. One in worsted weight and another in a DK weight for those of us that don’t wear heavy beanies very often.
Design Details
The SASSy Swirls Bulky Beanie is designed using #5 bulky weight velvet yarn, but they’re just as pretty when made with other bulky yarns too. The purple one shown here is made using #5 Premier Parfait.
This cozy beanie is an advanced beginner pattern that works up very quickly using a 6.5 mm (K) hook and you only need about 150 yards of bulky yarn. They’re made in one piece starting with the brim and are worked in the round from the bottom up using half double crochet and front post double crochet stitches. This is what gives the beanie the super cool swirly looking texture.
The SASSy Swirls Bulky Beanie is another relaxed fit type design. It’s not too tight or too slouchy but, easily customizable. Simply add rounds for a more slouchy fit or remove a round or two for a tighter fit.
If you’re ready to get started making the S/M sized free version just scroll down to check it out. For those that prefer the premium, ad-free version of the SASSy Swirl Bulky Beanie in both the S/M & L sizes then you can grab it for a small cost in either of my shops.
