The Chloe Hat Pattern
THIS ARTICLE CONTAINS AFFILIATE LINKS THAT SUPPORT HANDY LITTLE ME CONTENT AND FREE PATTERNS.The Chloe hat pattern has been inspired by the amazing hat that American Olympian Chloe Kim was wearing during the winter Olympics.
Her team USA chunky knit hat looked so warm and cosy that I just had to get a pattern out there for you guys to make.
This knitted hat has been made with the softest yarn and will be sure to keep you nice and cosy in the cold weather.

An Easy Level Knitting Pattern
This is an easy pattern for those of you who are advanced beginner level, and the techniques you will need to know are knit, purl, k2tog and knitting in the round.
Using mainly knit and purl stitches, it will also introduce you to decreasing and shaping.
If you have never knit in the round before you can watch my video tutorial here.
The Yarn I Used…
I made the Chloe Kim hat using a super bulky weight (06) yarn – Lion Brand Wool-Ease Thick and Quick in Fisherman 099.
This was knit using two strands together to make the knitted fabric thicker.
Any super bulky weight yarn 06 will be okay to use for this pattern.
