This hat is literally just 57 stitches by 24 rows....very quick to knit. I used two different dk yarns together and the end result is soft, squishy and very warm. This will fit a small child and is destined for one of the charities I knit for. I'd love one of these in my size. I've just been outdoors and it is very cold...the woolly hats are coming out.
The pattern is here or on the Ravelry site here. It is knitted on straight needles. I don't usually like seams on hats but this pattern is so well-written that the seam almost disappears when it is sewn up. You can just about see it in the centre of my photo.
The only thing I am not keen on is the clunky crown decreases. But they are not so obvious when the hat is being worn. This hat used very little yarn and is a great way to use up oddments.
Una. I love the ribby effect on that sweet hat. I hope you are well and I know how hard you have worked this year to support so many charities.

I made a couple of these for my shoeboxes. I rather like the stitch and am thinking of using it to make a sweater. It is a quick little hat to knit. I made the mitts to match too.
ReplyDeleteI Love this pattern too, so quick isn't it? - I downloaded it from "operation Christmas child" website - they have added a pair of mitts to go with it if you are interested - love the colour you have used xxx
ReplyDeleteA great little hat pattern and I'm sure the charity you donate it too will be very welcome of it Una, thanks x
