For this cozy chunky hat, I chose Lion Brand Scarfie Yarn—a soft, bulky yarn ideal for keeping you warm on cold winter days. Scarfie is a unique blend of acrylic and wool (78% acrylic, 22% wool), giving it a wonderful softness with just the right amount of warmth and durability. This yarn is known for its stunning color transitions, so you’ll get a beautiful gradient effect as you work through your project. The gradual color changes add a touch of dimension and interest to the ribbed stitch pattern, making each hat look unique and vibrant.
Below are the patterns in the blog hop:
Scarfie comes in various rich color combinations, from neutrals to deep, earthy tones, so you can choose a palette that matches your personal style or make several hats for family and friends in different colors. It’s also an easy-care yarn, which means your hat will stay looking great with minimal maintenance—perfect for everyday winter wear.
Because it’s a bulky (Category 5) yarn, Scarfie works up quickly, making it ideal for those who want to finish projects fast. You’ll love how quickly the stitches build, giving you that instant gratification we all enjoy in crochet! It’s especially perfect for this hat pattern, as the ribbed stitch enhances the natural stretch and gives the hat a snug, comfy fit.
