Knit your own bulky dotty beanie with this free knitting pattern! Using the dot stitch, this textured beanie features staggered purl stitches among knit stitches for a cute dotted effect. Perfect for all skill levels, it works up quickly with bulky level 5 yarn and 8 mm 16″ circular knitting needles. The pattern is available in 3 sizes – adult, child, and baby. Each beanie typically requires less than one skein of yarn. Knit in the round, starting with ribbing, followed by the dot stitch for the main body, and decreases towards the crown. Customize the height for a slouchier fit or shorter style, and consider adding a cute pom pom for a finishing touch!
