A New Way to Think About Hats

A new way to think about hats: one cannot have too many.

In my opinion, a perfect hat must fit comfortably and be fun to knit. The following met the criteria.

One of those days that I felt like re inventing the wheel, I combined hand-dyed fibers from my stash to create some crazy happy yarn. It was perfect for a Rikke hat.





Hat number two made an appearance on the blog as a WIP in...2015 (shame!). Pattern is L'Arbre by Cirilia Rose.



The Vermonter by Abi Gregorio is the definition for instant gratification. I have some left over yarn for a pom-pom!


Hope that you all enjoy the holidays with our loved ones. Wishing you love, peace and more knitting time in the New Year.

  2. Beautiful hats, and the criteria make perfect sense (I tend to get the fitting part wrong a lot when knitting hats).

    1. Thanks Tahnee. I would say fitting is a trial and error for me :-)

  3. Your Rikke hat is lovely. I like how you have shown us a bit of fiber alongside the finished yarn. Sometimes it is really hard to envision how fiber might spin up.
