About the Blustery Beanie Pattern

The Blustery Beanie is a free knitting pattern designed by Heather of Ewe Ewe Yarns. The hat is knit holding two strands of bulky yarn together, creating a warm, squishy fabric with beautiful stitch definition.

Pattern details:

• Held double throughout

• Includes 3 sizes

• Cozy, classic beanie shape

This is a great project for learning how to manage two strands of yarn and for experiencing how quickly bulky knitting can come together.

Yarn + Supplies

This pattern was designed using Baa Baa Bulky Merino Yarn by Ewe Ewe Yarns.

Yarn:

• Baa Baa Bulky Merino Yarn

• 2 balls total, held double throughout the entire hat

Baa Baa Bulky creates a soft, cushy fabric that’s warm without feeling heavy, making it ideal for winter hats and accessories.

You’ll also need:

• Knitting needles (see pattern for sizing)

• Stitch marker

• Tapestry needle

If you’d like a simple, ready-to-go option, I’ve put together a Blustery Beanie Yarn Kit that includes the exact yarn this hat was designed with — two balls of Baa Baa Bulky Merino Yarn, ready to knit.

Pattern Sizes + Helpful Notes

The Blustery Beanie pattern includes three sizes. Be sure to check the pattern for stitch counts and measurements before you begin.

Because bulky yarn and needle size can affect fabric density, I always recommend:

• Taking a moment to consider how you like your hats to fit

• Checking your gauge so your finished hat feels just right
