Our take

An Easy super-bulky hat when you want sizes and large needles without a Beginner badge.

Knit Picks rates Ayre Easy and lists three sizes. Super bulky keeps the fabric moving.

Before you start

Three checks worth making now

  1. 01

    Pick the size from Knit Picks’ chart, not from the word hat.

  2. 02

    Large needles change hand feel. Swatch if the fabric looks too open.

  3. 03

    Keep the official download.
