Brava Bulky
Brava Bulky is an affordable premium acrylic yarn. I choose a neutral palette for this crochet hat. Grey, black, white and brown are great choices for gifts, as they’ll go with anything. This yarn also has numerous colours to choose from, so you can customize it to your liking.

WeCrochet has a few more yarn options that will work perfectly with this pattern. Chroma and Swish are a splurge, but if you prefer superwash wool or merino, they are great options.

Construction
The Chunky Ribbed hat is worked flat in rows from the side across. The ribbing is crocheted by working a row of double crochet in combination with a row of linked slip stitches. Finish with a half double crochet row and slip stitch the ends together. A single crochet in the blo only band is joined as you go to the bottom of the hat. Weave the starting yarn tail to close the top of the hat. A Step-by-step video tutorial is included for adult-size on YouTube. https://youtu.be/nMa557O1VG4
Special Stitches
Stacked Dc – Don’t ch at the beg of a row. Insert hook through the first st and work a sc. Insert hook between the 2 loops of the sc st just made, work a sc st. You have now stacked two sc sts making a stacked dc. This gives the side of your work a clean and straight edge. See the video tutorial for further clarification.
Linked Sl St – Ch 1, 1 sc in the first st, *pick up a loop in the same st, pick up a loop in the next st, pull that loop through the 2 loops on the hook; rep from * across, end with a sc in the last st, turn.
