Cloud Cover Beanie

February 5, 2016 By: Tamara Kelly26 Comments

I love the way super thick yarns are popping up all over – and one of the latest is Lion Brand Color Clouds! It’s a lovely Jumbo “7” yarn, and it was crying out to be a new hat pattern here on Moogly – a knit one at that!

Because it’s knit, the Cloud Cover Beanie fits everyone from my 8 year old to my husband – lots of stretch! So it’s officially one size fits most, from older kids through adults!

    I haven’t been able to find the cloud colors in store, are they only available on the Lion Brand website?

      It’s new, so it might take a while to get into all the stores! Right now you can definitely order it directly from Lion Brand. 🙂

    Can’t this be done on straight needles, and just sew it up the back?

      You could do it that way if you prefer, yes! You’ll just need to reverse the directions on the “wrong side” – purl instead of knit, knit instead of purl. 🙂

    I am intimidated by circular needles; mainly because I haven’t used them

      They are surprisingly easy to use – no more stitches falling off the end of dpns!

    I like loose fitting hats and this beanie looks like it might be just right.

    Is the pattern calling for three strands to be held together? “Colorways Shown: Ice Storm; Magician’s Mauve and Summer Rain”

      No, just one at a time. There are two different hats in the photos – one was made with Ice Storm, and the other is Magician’s Mauve for the brim, and Summer Rain for the rest. :

      I was able to finish on the cables, but if you already have the dpns it is a bit easier!

    Hi made the hat in a couple of hours. Love it. Too small for an adult. just wondering if I can add another row (using Lionn brand thick and bulky yarn). And which rows? I just wanted to try it to see how it came out with this yarn. Have ordered the cloud color yarn. Thanks so much. Harriett

      Hi Harriett! You can add more ribbing to the brim, or if you want it a lot bigger, you can add another repeat of Rounds 4 – 11. That will of course need another skein!

    I love the hat pattern. The hats are beautiful and colorful the ones you posted on this page. I was wondering if you make summer hats with out them being slouches hats. I really do like your patterns for hats they have been nice to crochet for myself. I enjoy your website. Thank you for the free patterns and the tutorial videos. You have done and outstanding job on your patterns and website. Sarah

      Thank you Sarah! The best way to make them non-slouch is just to drop one or more of the pattern repeats! If there’s a particular one you’re interested in, I’d be happy to help!

      I think the closest look might be dc sts worked into the front and back loops alternating. 🙂

    Just finished this in a chunky variegated yarn. Love it. So quick and cosy. I used a magic loop with longer cables as it wouldn’t fit on my 16″ cables…
