Sometimes, a Size 6 (super bulky) yarn can feel like a Size 5 (bulky) yarn or vice versa. Here is a variation of our pattern for a Thick and Toasty Intertwined Waves Beanie made with either a Size 5 (bulky) yarn or a slender Size 6 (super bulky) yarn.
This beanie is made with intertwined waves in the body of the hat.

ch- chain
sc – single crochet
dc – double crochet
hdc – half double crochet
