A Quick Super Bulky Yarn Knitting Project
If you love projects that give you fast results, this super bulky hat knitting pattern for women is a great one to add to your list. The thick yarn and larger knitting needles mean fewer stitches and rows than you would need for a traditional worsted-weight hat, so you can see your project taking shape almost immediately. It’s perfect for a relaxing afternoon of knitting or for making a last-minute handmade gift.
The striped design also makes this an excellent scrap yarn knitting project. Instead of letting partial skeins of super bulky yarn sit in your stash, combine them to create your own color palette. Change colors every few rows for narrow stripes or work longer sections for a bold color-blocked look.
Great for using leftover super bulky yarn
Easy to customize with different stripe combinations
Works up quickly with thick yarn and large needles
Makes a cozy handmade holiday gift

Finishing
Cut the yarn, leaving approximately a 10-inch tail. Thread the tail through the remaining 6 stitches and pull tightly to close the top of the hat. Secure the yarn.
Using the remaining tail, sew the side seam of the hat together. Weave in any loose ends.
Make and attach a pom pom to the top of the hat.
For a striped pom pom: I created mine by wrapping the white yarn around the arms of the pom pom maker first, then adding the silver grey yarn. This creates a fun two-tone pom pom that coordinates with the stripes on the hat.
How to Make the Perfect Pom Pom
A fluffy pom pom is the perfect finishing touch for this Women’s Super Bulky Striped Rib Knit Hat. You can use a pom pom maker for quick, even results or make one using a simple cardboard template. For the fullest pom pom, wrap the yarn generously—the more yarn you use, the thicker and fluffier the finished pom pom will be.
For this striped hat, I made a two-color pom pom using the same silver grey and white yarn featured in the stripes. Wrap one color around the pom pom maker first, then add the second color. Once the pom pom is tied and removed from the maker, trim the yarn ends until you have a neat, rounded shape.
