Hello.
So today I have finished knitting my new beanie! I think this might become my favourite hat pattern!
The pattern I used is Turn a Square by Jared Flood and I really enjoyed making this little hat. It has been quite chilly round here recently so I should get a bit of wear out of it soon.
It is made with a solid colour for the main colour and a self striping yarn for the other stripe. I used a nice charcoal and some left over Noro Silk Garden for the colourful stripe. The crown is a great squarish shape due to the way the decreases are done, and pretty easy to knit even though I don't have a lot of experience knitting in the round. I think I could make a few more of these is other colour ways.
Hope you are having a creative day too!

You're right, this hat is adorable! You are going to busy, everyone will want one!
ReplyDeleteNice hat! Love the lines of different shades, they look very fashionable on a grey background :))) I wonder how do you find time to make so many awesome projects? :) Take care!
ReplyDeleteOh I love the colours you have used. So pretty!
ReplyDeleteOooh that was on my list too. I was planning on making a navy-styled hat, dark blue and cream colored...I love how your hat turned out. Really pretty!!
ReplyDeleteLove the stripes. It's a good way to make some lovely yarn go a little bit futher.
ReplyDeleteI made some of these hats at Christmas for various sons, husbands and nephews - it's definitely the most successful hat pattern I found. I varied the stripe pattern quite easily, sometimes thick ones, sometimes stripes of varying widths. I've also just recently finished Jared Flood's Terra shawl - you can see it here - http://www.ravelry.com/projects/Poody/terra - I think his patterns are really simple but effective.
