4x4 is a big, helmet-like beanie crocheted in super bulky yarn. The hat has a distinctive, sculptural look and features wide ribs created by post stitches and finished with a head-hugging welt edging.

It’s worked from the top down in joined rounds.

Skill level is intermediate.

Yarn mixes – two or more strands of yarn held together – can also be used if the yarn mix meets the pattern stitch gauge. Yarn-mix sample hat is crocheted in Vanna’s Choice in Eggplant, Lion Brand Fishermen’s Wool in Brown Heather and Plymouth Gina in Color 0001, with one strand of each yarn equal to the super bulky weight yardage.
