just a few hats
Saturday, December 22, 2007Amazing. I seem to be on some sort of post roll. I don't think I have ever posted more than two days in a row, let alone five. And, I may have a couple more before the big day.
Just a few hats I wanted to share.
First up, for my husband. I initially wanted to make this for both boys, but the small is fairly large, so it will be going to my husband instead. I have another one on the needles that will be given to my father in law.
Pattern: Inca Alpaca Garter Ridge Hat, Glorious Knitting.
Yarn: Inca Marl by Classic Elite, 3 hanks.
Needles: size 101/2, I used double points for the whole hat.
Notes: I think this hat is too cool. And done in garter stitch is super quick.
Next up. Also going to my husband.
Pattern: Simple Hat from Cables Untangled.
Yarn: Cascade 220, super wash. 2 balls.
Needles: size 7
Notes: I LOVE this hat. I mean, really love it. I want one. Maybe in chocolate. Or white.
And, for Libby. Because she wanted a hat with ear flaps and braids to match her coat.
Pattern: Thorpe, designed by Kirsten Kapur.
Yarn: Mauch Chunky, 1 ball apple, 1 ball spice.
Needles: I used 10's because I didn't have double points in 9.
Notes: This is the cutest, quickest knit ever. And of course, perfectly written. I want to make them for Birthday gifts for my kids friends. Honestly, I bet you have some chunky yarn in your stash, and the pattern is free, you could whip one up tonight. And you have to love a pattern that forces you to learn a new skill. I learned the half double crochet stitch. And, I must say, I loved it.

I love Libby's hat - I've been wanting to knit an earflap hat and that looks like a great choice :)
ReplyDeleteYou never cease to amaze me :)
ReplyDeleteChristmas knitting has had the same effect on my blogging. I'm not quite up to five in a row, but 3 or 4 a week is a lot for me!
ReplyDeleteThe hats all look great! Libby's is so cute and matches her coat perfectly!
Thanks for the nice words about the pattern. :)
Oh. Just oh. I love that cabled hat! And I have been itching to make a Thorpe, but I still have a dog sweater to make before Tuesday. Oh.
ReplyDeleteMerry Christmas - again!
Wow! I love the cabled hat :)
ReplyDeleteThese are all so wonderfully knitted. Wonderful choice in yarn colors too.
ReplyDeleteLibby's hat matches perfectly to her cute coat!
I love all of the hats - especially the earflap hat - though I think I may dig out Cables Untangled tonight...:) Nice job!
ReplyDeleteGreat hats and love Libbys hat just adorable.
ReplyDeleteCute knits! Merry Xmas!
ReplyDeleteYou can never go wrong with those fantastic hats! They will make perfect gifts and am sure your family will appreciate the warmth!
ReplyDeletep.s. You are on a roll....Are you pulling an all-nighter knitting?
Fabulous hats! I can't tell which one I like the most. I also can't tell which one I want to knit first!
ReplyDeleteI'm loving all your posts, keep it up!
ReplyDeleteThey are all great. I think you should make yourself a garter stitch hat too. It looks fab on you!
I love them all but the cabled hat is just beautiful!
ReplyDeleteleslie, i love those hats. You must make that one with the earflaps for yourself in chocolate, or chocolate and white would be great too.
ReplyDeleteLove reading all your posts lately! so fun looking at all your handmade gifts.
Your pictures are so fantastic, really. you should be a professional photographer!
Love those hats! I'll have to try the earflap hat after I unbury myself from making flannel pj bottoms. Can't wait!
ReplyDeleteWhat marvelous hats! You're a real inspiration for holiday knitting. BTW, that plaid coat is just fabulous.
ReplyDeleteI wish you were my mom!
ReplyDeletecute hats!! Love the last one, I bookmarked it for The Chicken. She has wanted a hat with flaps forever. She wants one with fur, so I may use up some crazy fun fur from my stash for the edge.
ReplyDeleteHats, aplenty - and all so flippin' adorable! I've added Thorpe to my Ravelry queue as I am always on the lookout for an earflap hat. I always crochet mine so this would be a first if I knit one.
ReplyDeleteYou ARE on a major roll, all three hats are perfect!
ReplyDeleteoh, I love the hats! I am so glad that you are on a roll. I am enjoying what you are just whipping up! they all look gorgeous. I love the earflapper capper (that's what we called them as kids).
ReplyDeleteYour hats all look terrific. And I love Libby's coat!
ReplyDeleteAll of these hast are great I am definitely going to give them a try. I have to see Libby in the hat and coat if its not too much to ask. Priceless!
ReplyDeleteYou are ful of surprise to me. Great photos, lovely works. It is such a joy to read your blog.
ReplyDeleteVery pretty!
ReplyDeleteI love your profile picture with the boots as well.
Beautiful hats!!

wow you are on a roll!! Love the garter stitch hat. The floppiness is too cute. I wish I had someone who would appreciate it but today in California it was nearly 78 degrees today. Oh well, may have to make one anyway :O)
ReplyDeleteI am in love with your hats!:-)
ReplyDeleteI wish I could turn back the clock and knit them all for my own family members... ah well---I need to get to work on my own last minute knitted gift (what was I thinking putting off my knitting for the last day? I should have put off my sewing!)... Great work on your gifts! Happy holidays.
love the hats! i might need the cable one, too. it is really cute.
ReplyDeletei did start the flap one for jane....got all the way to the flaps and realized it was way too big (and i was using a bulky on size 8's) so i frogged it. gonna make it next week - great great pattern. thanks for sending me the link.
merry merry!
I think hats are the most wonderfully satisfying things to knit. Love all three you made.
ReplyDeleteNow we know why you take such great photos...great camera. Recognize your necklace as well.
Fabulous work, as always! This post inspired me to make an earflap hat this weekend in preparation for a trip to the east coast on Friday. Thanks for the knitting motivation!
ReplyDeleteThose hats are oh so gorgeous. I especially love the floppy garter stitch one.
ReplyDeleteThose are three very cool hats. Libby is going to be very stylish!
ReplyDeleteOhhh, I love those hats. So cute.
ReplyDeleteHappy New Year!
I love this hat and the colors:)
ReplyDeleteThree cute hats! Impossible to say which one is my favorite. Thanks for the inspiration. :)
