This cozy and stylish slouchy beanie adds a bold pop to any winter look. Featuring soft texture, a flattering oversized shape, and an eye-catching jumbo pompom, it’s a fun and satisfying project that knits up quickly in chunky yarn.

Worked in the round from brim to crown, this hat pattern is ideal for intermediate knitters or adventurous beginners who want to try shaping and simple decreases. The included pom tutorial shows how to create that show-stopping top!

Sized for babies to adults XL, it’s a versatile gift idea for anyone on your list.
Please note: my sizing chart is based on average head measurements, but head size is individual and not age-dependent — I strongly recommend measuring actual head circumference to select the correct size.

Techniques used: working in the round, knit/purl texture, basic decreases, optional crown shaping with DPNs, making a large pom.

Perfect for: winter knitting, cozy holiday gifts, stash-busting one-skein projects, and stylish cold-weather wear.

Designed to fit head circumferences:
■ 20½”-22”/52-56cm (Baby/toddler to adults S),
