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).

tosh worsted top

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!

Oooh, cute!

It looks fantastic!

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.

Love love love!!!!

Love them! I agree, the top decreases are prefect.

Ooh, so cute I had to go ahead and buy it!

those are adorable! I love it when you find a pattern that interests you so much you can make it over and over and not get bored!

Hi. Really nice site - just wanted to say Hey and keep up the good work - positive feedback is needed right ? :) ps. love the layout :)

Do you actually believe this is the best way to make a point?

Oooer I love acorns! How rad to have some lacey acornesque hat action! :D

Downloaded my pattern the other night and finished the worsted weight hat in one sitting! I love it! Another great pattern! Thanks!

I love how different they all look!
Also, wanted to let you know that I linked to you on my blog as part of the Sunshine Awards :)

Oh, my gosh...thank you thank you thank you for the big bag o' potential!!! How thoughtful and lovely! I meant to blog it but lost the photos somehow in transferring them; will do soon. You're so awesome!

Love it! I know a few people who would love this hat, so I should get knitting :)
