If you’re looking for a quick Christmas knit, look no further! I’ve just released a free pattern on Ravelry, the Three Way Chunky Hat. This hat is the perfect addition to your winter wardrobe. It only takes a couple of hours to knit, and can be worn as a beanie, slouch hat or beret. The chunky yarn knits up quickly and easily on big needles, so you can make a hat as a last minute gift, or knit yourself several in different colours.

I knitted my sample in Sirdar Bigga, and it only used one ball of yarn. This yarn is a wool and acrylic mix that is now unfortunately discontinued, but any super chunky yarn that knits to the right gauge would also work. You could try Rowan Big Wool or Drift.
The pattern is available now on Ravelry – click the link in the pattern name at the top of this post.
