HATS TO KNIT

Hats, scarves, and what ever else I want to try knitting, get saved in a large plastic bin until November when the Chico Eagles Aerie #218  - the Womens' Auxiliary - holds its two day Christmas Bazaar.  Progress has been slow, but now that I've more time, I'm anxious to be more productive.  These are the hats I've made so far.  I'm not a designer, and use patterns I find in books and the Internet, so I will give credit to those designers so you can see for yourself who they are.

These three baby hats are published as "Unbelievably Simple Hats" on PurlpleIrisCrafts.blogspot.  I knit these hats with worsted acrylic yarn.  They are knit side to side and then sewn together. 

The blue baby hat with the yellow ribbon can be found as "Knit an Easy Baby Hat" at "Louise Knits ... an sometimes sews."  The original is with eyelets only, but I added the ribbon for contrast color and texture.

 The red hat is my version of a fold up brimmed hat with cables and double moss stitch.  I love knitted texture.  An excellent source of knit and purl stitches can be found in KNIT & PURL - 250 stitches to knit - edited by Erika Knight.

Time to go knit!!  Scarves next post.
