Paksu Chunky Beanie Pattern

"Paksu is the Finnish word for chunky. This is a beginner friendly and quick knit and also one of my favorite everyday knits. I have used Hygge wool which is airy and a little bit fluffy single-ply 100% wool yarn by Finnish yarn company Novita. I think it’s quite affordable and even though it is not merino I don’t find it itchy. You may use also any other super bulky wool yarn. You’ll need a total of 132 yards (120 meters)."
