Fibers on Friday: Hat Shaped Hats

"In walked a man in the shape of a man, wearing a hat shaped....HAT!"


All I've been working on this week is hats for my family. You may recall last week, I had to totally rip out one hat and start over. If only I was smart enough to realize I could have kept it for a dollie's hat, like Elise suggested....oh well.

Nevertheless, I got two (almost three) hats completed!

The "Flapper Style" is a pattern called "poppy". I used an inexpensive wool yarn from AC Moore. The hat knits up fast! It's a fun, easy pattern and as you can see, it's super adorable!

My husband's hat is just a simple beanie knit in the round using Crazy Aunt Purl's calculations. Plus some of my own modifications, like a ribbed edging.

Now, I'll work on a hat for ME! Stay tuned.
