acorn hats
in between all my other projects, i knit a bunch of hats. i really enjoy knitting this particular lace pattern, which i think looks a lot like acorns. i knit it over and over, until i was sure it was right.
my favorite part is the decreases (they look the same in bulky and worsted versions).
the blue and brown ones on the left are knit in berroco's peruvia quick, a bulky yarn that i love. options for turned up and plain rib brims are included and each hat uses only 1 skein, making this bulky hat an $8.00 project.
the hats on the right use the worsted weight version of the pattern. the hat on the top right is in madelinetosh tosh worsted ( which is now called tosh dk, but knits up at a versatile light worsted-dk range). the bottom right is in berroco vintage, which has taken some serious abuse from lots of wear and still look like new. love!
the pattern includes instructions for worsted and bulky weight versions. it's available for purchase now!

thanks so much for your support!

This hat is SO pretty! I really love it! The decreases are wonderful, too. Love it when decreases look great, too; makes the whole hat.

Very good text. I've found your site via Yahoo and I'm really happy about the information you provide in your posts. Btw your sites layout is really broken on the Chrome browser. Would be really great if you could fix that. Anyhow keep up the good work!

When you are in uncomfortable position and have no money to go out from that, you would require to take the loan. Because that would aid you emphatically. I take short term loan every year and feel myself OK just because of that.

i'm normally bumping all around the web just about all of the time hence I possess a tendency to peruse a great deal, which unfortunately is not normally a beneficial option as almost all of the internet resources I discover are made up of pointless trash copied from several other sites a thousand times, on the other hand I have to compliment you because this webpage is certainly enjoyable and features a lot of genuine material, therefore kudos for stopping the trend of just simply copying other folks' blogs, in case you ever wanna have fun with a few hands of zynga poker with me just let me know - you have my email address :)
