Lacy Heart. Janet. Well, after quite a long hiatus from blogging, and even longer from designing- or rather, taking notes and writing stuff up- here I am again with another hat pattern.
Janet is a very special person and lovely friend, and when I had to go away I decided to knit her a hat. A special hat. So I scoured Ravelry for just the right hat and it... it wasn't there, not quite. I found a stitch pattern I liked and dove in with all my knitterly abandon, even marking down what I was doing with the half-formed notion of... another blog post, another design. I have sadly not got myself charting software and my hard drive was wiped out so even my Excel is gone- however the urge to post has come over me and I will add a chart as soon as it is ready. This tam is worked in the round from the brim to the crown. Materials: -Worsted weight wool or wool blend, about 100 grams I used "Alpaca Love" by Stitch Nation by Debbie Stoller. . -16 inch circular needles, size 5 (3.75mm) and 7 (4.5mm) -stitch markers Gauge: Small Hills Hat.
Small Hills Hat Looking for a sloppy lace hat that is both sturdy and feminine?
Want a lace pattern that is easy to remember, and yet interesting enough to keep you going? This hat could be the one! Thelma saw a picture of a structured lace hat in an advertising leaflet. She liked it very much. PATTERN INFORMATIONThe pattern is written and charted.

The Organic Mushroom « One of my first designs ever was the Holy Cowl.
Next, because I had leftovers and because every good project deserves a matching accessory, came the cuffs. And now, to top off this epic trilogy (pun intended)… It’s the Organic Mushroom. An original knit requested by blog follower Susie. This slouchy beret knits up in no time and completes your matching set. Knit with Lion Brand’s lovely Natural Choice Organic Cotton (made in the USA and with all natural dyes), this hat is as cute as it is sustainable. For your knitting pleasure… The Organic Mushroom Thanks again Susie for your inspiration, enjoy! Like this: Like Loading... Antelope Hat.
