The chunky hat designs below are great for Fall and Winter because of how warm the yarn is and how cozy they can keep your noggin during a cold spell. Just try some chunky yarn on your next crocheted hat and you’ll know what I mean.
What is a Chunky Yarn?
Technically, chunky yarn is bulky yarn. You can call each one the other, and they are the same thing! Chunky or bulky yarn is considered a weight 5 yarn while super chunky or super bulky yarn is a weight 6.
Next time you see these crochet terms used in patterns you will know what they mean. Below I will have a good mix of chunky and super chunky for you to pick from. You will notice that in most of the suggested patterns they will call for a thicker yarn that’s either bulky gauge 5 or super bulky gauge 6 yarn.
Take a look below at some of my favorite chunky yarns to use to make extra cozy hats!
BULKY #5 WEIGHT YARNS
BULKY #6 WEIGHT YARNS
When designing crochet hats that I want to be extra cozy I will usually go for Lion Brand Thick & Quick, Lion Brand Hometown or a comparable yarn in thickness. As long as you use the correct weight thickness as recommended by the pattern you will be good to go.
