This quick and cozy crochet tutorial teaches viewers how to make a super soft chunky beanie in just 20 minutes, making it perfect for beginners or last-minute gifts. The tutorial uses bulky or super bulky yarn (like size 6), along with a large crochet hook (typically size L or M), to work up the project fast. The host walks through each step clearly, starting with a simple magic ring or chain to create the crown, and quickly increases to the desired size.
Once the crown is complete, the body of the hat is worked in rounds using basic stitches—often half double crochets (hdc) or single crochets (sc)—to build a thick, warm fabric with great texture. The yarn’s chunkiness helps the project work up quickly, and the tutorial includes tips on keeping your tension even and avoiding gaps. Viewers can customize the hat’s height depending on whether they prefer a snug fit or a slouchy look.
To finish, the beanie is shaped at the top with minimal decreases or simply cinched shut with a yarn needle and fastened off. A fluffy pom-pom can be added for extra flair. The finished result is a soft, stylish, and comfortable beanie that looks store-bought but is handmade with love. Viewers are encouraged to experiment with colors and textures to make each beanie unique—and to enjoy the instant gratification of completing a wearable piece in just one sitting.
