Two patterns in two days – I’m on a roll! This is the former unsizeable hat. And I am so pleased with the way it came out in the end! So worth the effort. In the end I decided to name i…

It is dangerous to let your children browse Pinterest. When mine do then it usually turns into another project for me. Daughter #1 saw this cap and wanted it. At $14 it wasn't a bad price, but when I said we could make one she looked at me a little incredulously. I've made many a knit cap using circular needles and I knew I could come awfully close to this style. I made a practice one with some yarn from her stash and came up with the pattern adapted from the cap pattern I usually use. Here's the first prototype modeled by my youngest daughter who has also commandeered this hat. The yarn I used was junk, to be quite honest. But is was a freebie and it worked just fine for practice. It is just really stiff once it is made up and so it doesn't really slouch. Although, the pattern allows for some great stretch to accommodate a ponytail underneath. Top view of crown shaping On the second hat (that goes to daughter #1) we decided that 6 rows of ribbing instead of 4 was better for the edge. Detail of pattern And this yarn was a bit softer and slouches better. ______________________________________ Slouchy Knit Hat Finished hat circumference 20” and from edge to top. Size 8 – 16” circular needles Size 8 double-pointed needles Cast on 84 sts. Ribbing:Join and work 6 rnds in k1, p1 rib. Body of Hat: *Knit 3 rnds. Purl 5 rnds Knit 3 rnds. Work 3 rnds in k1, p1, rib.* Repeat above section between (* *) 2 more times. Knit 1 round Shape crown, working decs as follows, changing to dpns when necessary. Rnd 1: *k2tog, k4; rep from * -70 sts. Rnd 2, 4, 6, 8 knit Rnd 3: *k2tog, k3; rep from * -56 sts. *Start using Dpns at Round 5 Rnd 5: *k2tog, k2; rep from * -42 sts. Rnd 7: *k2tog, k1; rep from * -28 sts. Rnd 9: *k2tog; rep from * -14 sts. Rnd 10: k2tog 7 times -7 sts. Cut yarn. With tapestry needle, run tail through remaining 7 stitches and fasten off. Weave in ends. ________________________________________________ Notes: My suggestion for a slouchy-ier hat would be to add to the purl rounds and/or to the ribbing rounds. Give it a bit more length and then therefore more slouch. OR Add another section repeat (for a total of 4) if you like your hat really slouchy. I'm working on #3 for me. Love the green. Enjoy! And stay warm. We've got 20's today and it feels balmy compared to our past week of sub zero wind chill temps.

Knit Fox Ears/Cat Ears Beanie Hat Knitting Pattern

Knitting Pattern for Earwarmer or Headband.

Half of my holidays this summer are already over and I´m back in town to work. I think that I manage fairly well not to feel too sorry for myself – even though husband and children are still enjoying island life. If I were to rate last week I would give the weather 7/10 skeins. I almost got burnt in the sun. The temperature in the water was quite enjoyable – 20 degrees Celsius. So that´s 9/10 skeins. My attempts to grow salad, dill and possibly some radishes (hard to tell in that wiltered state) were – as the kids would put it – an epic fail. 1/10 skeins. Nope, I can honestly say that I have never ever considered giving my day job up to become a gardener. But I can make pretty mean kanelbullar. 8/10 skeins – if I may say so myself. I also tried my hand at knitting. I got fed up knitting the lace cowl (nearly 500 stitches in each round) in record time. So then I started on a new hat. Inspired by the folk costumes in Dala-Floda I picked red and green from my stash of Loopy Ewe Solids. It´s very nice to knit with. I was happy with the border, but I didn´t think it suited the rest of the pattern. So I ripped it and went back to the drawing board. 5/10 skeins. And that was all that I had time to do last week. This week I´m so busy meeting friends in the evenings that I have NO time to stay at home and tidy up the flat – which was my original plan. Shame isn´t it? But if I have done my sums correctly the result of last week allows me to buy a total of 30 skeins. Go me!
