Knitting body of the bulky hat:
Using long tail method cast on 44 stitches. Place marker and join to knit in the round. Rib k1, p1 for 8 rows or until piece measures 6 cm. At the end of row 8, make an increase to get in total 45 stitches. You can use any method you know. I purl the last stitch through the back loop and knit the same stitch through the front loop. It is also fine if you purl the last stitch through the front loop and knit the same stitch through the back loop. Check the video for additional clarity.
Round 1: [k1, k2togk1] – repeat till the end of round.
Round 2: knit all stitches around.
Round3: [k2togk1, k1] – repeat till the end of round.
Round 4: knit all stitches around.
Repeat Rounds 1- 4 five more times or until hat measures 19-20 cm from the edge.
Shaping crown of the bulky knit hat:
Round 1: [k3, k2tog] – repeat till the end of round.
Round 2: [k2, k2tog] – repeat till the end of round.
Round 3: [k1, k2tog] – repeat till the end of round.
Round 4: [k2tog] – repeat till the end of round.
Cut yarn and leave 10 cm tail. Draw needle through remaining stitches and fasten securely. Weave in remaining ends and block as desired.
Add yarn, faux or real fur pom pom.

How do I get in contact with you? I ordered 7 knitted hat patterns from you and I keep getting an error message saying I have reached my download limit. I had trouble with my printer while trying to print a copy. Because of the message, I don’t have copies of some of my purchased
downloads. Can you tell me how to fix this problem. The order # is 14220 and the order date is January 3, 2022.
Thanks
Hi Dorothy. I have just sent your patterns one more time. Please check your e-mail and let me know if everything works now. I am sorry for inconvenience. Let me know if you have any questions.
Hi! I just made this hat and it’s too small for my MIL. It fits my daughter perfectly, so that works out, but I’d like to make one a little bigger for my MIL. Can I increase by a multiple of 3?
yes. after the ribbing multiple of 3.
