These three hats were designed in 2016 using the same basic pattern, each with small variations in design to create individual looks. All were knit in Plump, a super-soft, chunky yarn that works up quickly, making it ideal for last-minute gifts or cosy winter accessories. This pattern has all three designs on it and of course you too can tailor this to your own tastes! I'm lucky enough to have lots of small bits of Plump lying around which made the stripey hat possible, so bear that in mind if you have odds and ends lying around. You need one skein of Plump per hat, but of course a second skein for each extra colour. The pattern is written in the round. You also need 10mm and 12mm circular (40cm or 60cm) needles or double points. The hats shown above are: Top - Tim's hat - stripey version. Requires 1 skein blueberry muffin, and additional skeins of gooseberry fool, pistachio ice cream, peppermint cream, bonbon and sugared almond. You could of course just use one contrast colour. Middle - Henry's hat - requires 1 skein blueberry muffin and one skein of cherry pie Bottom - Freddie's hat - requires 1 skein damson jam and one skein of creme caramel. The pdf pattern has instructions in two sizes - regular adult head and large. Please note that this pattern is sold as a physical copy; it is not a PDF.
