This Might Be My New Favorite Hat!

 

I love how this hat turned out. I purchased this yarn from a sale table in my local yarn store just because I loved the marbled purples (my favorite color) and white colors. It is a wool DK made on size 6 needles. I started at the top and increased until I had 128 stitches. I worked in stockinette for 9 inches. Then I worked 1x1 ribbing until I ran out of yarn. It turned out perfect!

I am back in a hat-making kick and am making MTI hats for friends as well as just lots and lots of hats. Back to the needles.

My Bad Hair Hat

 This double thick hat turned out so well. It is a modification of the Musselburgh hat (link below) using a couple of yarns from my stash. It is a little bigger than it should have been, but it worked out perfectly because it covers my hair when I just don't want to wash or fix it. Plus it is very warm. 

The Musselburgh hat is a a double hat so the brim is actually four layers. Great for very cold days we sometimes have here in Colorado. Not this year. We have had the warmest winter ever. I miss the snow!

Here is the link for the Musselburgh hat. It is a paid pattern but it has several sizes and is worth every penny.

Of course I did! the Melt-the-ICE hat

I usually keep my politics off my knitting blog, and for the most part, I will continue to do so. But I had to make this hat for a friend of mine. I had a couple of more orders for them so I am getting my needles going. Yes, I am a rabid liberal who knits, so just extrapolate from there.

There are several patterns on Ravelry, both paid and free. I made this one up on my own as I went along.
