How to Knit a Chunky Beanie with Earflaps251

Chunky beanies with earflaps are a great way to keep your head and ears warm in the winter. They're also relatively easy to knit, making them a great project for beginners. In this tutorial, I'll show you how to knit a chunky beanie with earflaps using basic knit and purl stitches.

Materials* 1 skein of chunky yarn (I used Lion Brand Wool-Ease Thick & Quick in Charcoal)
* Size 10 (6mm) circular knitting needles
* Tapestry needle

Gauge* 4 stitches per inch
* 5 rows per inch

Finished Size* One size fits most

Instructions

Cast on 96 stitches.

Join in the round, being careful not to twist the stitches.

Knit 20 rows.

Divide the stitches into fourths: 24 stitches for the front, 24 stitches for the back, and 24 stitches for each earflap.

Work on the front of the hat first. Knit 24 stitches, then turn your work.

Purl 24 stitches, then turn your work.

Repeat these two rows until the front of the hat measures 3 inches from the cast-on edge.

Bind off the stitches on the front of the hat.

Work on the back of the hat in the same way as the front.

Work on the first earflap. Knit 24 stitches, then turn your work.

Purl 24 stitches, then turn your work.

Repeat these two rows until the earflap measures 4 inches from the cast-on edge.

Bind off the stitches on the earflap.

Work on the second earflap in the same way as the first.

Sew the earflaps to the sides of the hat.

Weave in any loose ends.

Your chunky beanie with earflaps is now complete!

Tips* If you want a smaller or larger beanie, simply adjust the number of stitches you cast on.
* You can also make the beanie longer or shorter by adding or removing rows.
* To make the earflaps wider or narrower, adjust the number of stitches you knit in the earflap section.
* If you're using a different type of yarn, be sure to check the gauge to make sure it's the same as the gauge specified in the pattern.
