Variations on a Chunky Hat is a beanie style hat that can be knit plain or dressed up by adding the optional flower embellishment included in the pattern. The simplicity of this pattern makes it great for beginner knitters interested in trying out circular knitting.

The core pattern was written for the Noro Bonborri hat as indicated in the written instructions. Noro Bonborri has since been discontinued so feel free to substitute in any chunky to bulky weight yarn with approximately 100+ yards.
