I saw this beautiful yarn and immediately wanted to make a chunky hat with it. I purchased several different colors of this pretty yarn to make this free chunky crochet hat pattern.
This crochet chunky hat pattern is made using Malabrigo Rasta Yarn in Archangel and Porrinho. This yarn has a roving like texture and is gauge 6 so it works up extra quickly.
Crocheted chunky hats are great. They keep your head warm and work up fast. This is a cushy soft hat with great texture.
The Berry Stitch
This crochet pattern works up fast using the berry stitch. I made a crocheted dishcloth, Berry Stitch Washcloth, that you can try out the crochet stitch with.
You can make this crochet pattern in no time. There are lots of pretty colors of yarn available.
This crochet pattern is easy and with a simple repeat. After you have mastered the berry stitch, this hat will be a quick crochet project.
The Yarn
I used Malabrigo Rasta Yarn in Archangel & Porrinho to make this pretty super bulky hat crocheting pattern. This yarn is 100% Merino Wool.
This yarn is a slightly felted yarn with a single twisted made it Peru. It comes in many beautiful colors.
You will need to hand wash your hat in cold water and dry flat.
