kisses
Friday, November 16, 2007This is one of my favorite hat patterns. The absolute quickest knit, and a great gift. I made Andrew one last year, and he wears it all of the time. I have had to sew the streamer back on a few times. While playing football at recess, the boys grab it to try to stop him. I would just love to see that little boy standing there holding the hershey kiss streamer, as Andrew keeps running.
I am happy to check two gifts off of my list.
It is the meathead hat from Larissa. Her knitalong book will be out in March, and you can preorder it here. Although, anyone that sends $4.50 to Larissa's paypal account, at dumbmail AT larissabrown DOT net, can receive the pattern via pdf form. The pattern has two sizes, with children wearing the small size. Check out the flickr group for ideas on embellishments, or add a streamer out of interfacing for a hershey kiss.
And speaking of kisses, have you seen all of the new flavors? Hot chocolate, peppermint, coffee, coconut cream, cherry cordial, the list goes on. I, of course, had to buy many bags of several different flavors. My favorite? Hands down, mint truffle.

ReplyDeleteHi Leslie,
ReplyDeleteI thought that she wasn't selling it that way anymore, but maybe I'm wrong. I've been DYING to get that pattern and am eagerly awaiting the book! Your Meathead(s) are fantastic.
Oh my! I wonder if we have all those flavors in Canada. I'm going to have to investigate.
ReplyDeleteThe hats are great.
Mmm... the coconut cream sounds so good! I'll have to track that down. Love the hats!
ReplyDeleteSuch a cute hat idea and i love that he loves it. A girl after my own heart - mint chocolate!!! Hubby hates it so I get to eat it all myself! Sadly we don't get kisses here. We did once but your chocolate is too sweet for us!
ReplyDeleteLove the hats!
ReplyDeletegosh all of those on flicker are so cute, so many different ones, such imaginaitons!
ReplyDeleteI love your hats! I still need to make one for my son.
ReplyDeleteIs there a new version of the PDF including child's size for the meathead pattern? The one I currently have is sized: Sizes: Adult small/medium (adult large)
However, I see you've made them for children?
I love that hat! I made them for my girls last year....and both have managed to be lost! Good thing they are quick knits, though!
ReplyDeleteHi there,
ReplyDeleteYes, I'm selling the pattern right now for $4.50. I just can't wait for the book, and so many people are interested. Leslie checked with me, so she's got all the info right.
And hers are super duper cute. Wow.
Thanks!
Larissa

ReplyDeleteThose hats are absolutely adorable, and I love that Andrew is "man" enough to still wear it. Such a cute idea.
I love that you have brought the hat back! It really is a brilliant idea. Mr.sunneshine wears his ALL the time - even wore it to and from work the other day... shocking - hehe!! Thanks for letting me rip you off!
ReplyDeleteThese are such fun hats! You can get pretty creative with these.
ReplyDeleteI would have to get ALL the Kisses flavors:)
Oh my gosh, those hats are precious! Good enough to eat - love them.
ReplyDeleteTanya, who loves the caramel kisses!
I hadn't seen the new flavors...how fun! I hadn't seen the kiss hat either. SO cute.
ReplyDeleteOh no, there are new Kisses flavors? I'm in trouble!
ReplyDeleteLove the hats and all the new kisses!
ReplyDeleteJust adorable!!!
ReplyDeleteYou must tell me how you got the giant streamer made??
I hope I get lots of kisses this weekend too! ;op

ReplyDeleteCute post, Les. If you're posting about new hats, I'm assuming Andrew's sweater is finished. Good for you! I like Hershey kisses...the gold wrapped ones with nuts...but give me a bag of chips and I'm in heaven!
ReplyDeleteAll I can is Darn.. those hats are too adorable.
ReplyDeleteThe hats are darling! Must have!
ReplyDeleteYou didn't mention the Candy Cane Kisses - one of my fav's so far, and I tried the mint ones too -yum. I haven't seen coffee ones, I better keep my eyes open ;)
ReplyDeleteCute Hats.
what fun! i am going to have to check out that pattern! and then i will have to check out these hershey kiss flavors....one of my favorite treats!
ReplyDeletehappysigh: I love reading your blog. It always makes me smile. :)
ReplyDeleteThat is the cutest hat I've ever seen! It almost makes me wish we had winter temperatures below 60 degrees.
ReplyDeleteWe don't get those kisses over here...:(
ReplyDeleteNice hats though!
Oh I love that! Would be so cute on a baby! Thanks for the info!
ReplyDeleteWhat a cute idea!.. and I'll get Kimmy the coconut kisses! :)
ReplyDeleteI love that hat! I keep seeing it and have been wanting to try it but have so many other projects going on right now that I shouldn't begin it...but maybe I will anyway. It is ok to have 6 different knitting projects going on at once, right?
ReplyDeleteThe candy cane kisses are my new favorite.
I would love to knit the Hershey Kiss Hat for my grandson. Can anyone please email me the pattern.
