SERIES 4 IS SO CLOSE!

Knitting Level Up: Hats

Today's topic is hats!  Even though I rarely wear hats, I like making them as gifts.  I'm only going to mention knitted ones here, although I've done a couple crochet ones recently as well.

There are a couple hats I made recently but don't have pictures of yet...so I guess those will come in a later post!

Sorry for the terrible selfies in this post!  These are all a bit old & taken in terrible lighting, my newer ones are better (but the last one is only a few months old, so take that as you will 😉).

Hats and stuff

New hat on Etsy!  Yaaay!

It's this pattern on Lion Brand if anyone's interested.  Used a ball and 1/4-1/2 instead of 1, like the pattern says.

Hello again!

Back at school now, so everything's pretty busy.  Still finding time to make things, though!  (And watch tons of dramas at the same time... :3).  Anyway, I just thought I'd post a few random pictures.

 This is a hat I crocheted for my mom before winter break.  I think the pattern is called Post Stitch Stocking Cap on Ravelry (I'm not sure why it's a stocking cap?).  The picture isn't that great, but it came out really nicely, I like the pattern a lot.  It's in fingering weight yarn, I forget what but it's on my Ravelry.

 

 Can anyone guess what this is going to be?

 That's right!  It's Kurara!  (aka Clara, from Kuragehime <3)  I hope I have enough stuffing to do the legs, I'm getting low on it...  Anyway, I'm just improvising for this.  I did the head in multiples of 6 stitches, up to 48, and then 6 even rows before the decreasing.  It could have been a little more round, but oh well.

Lastly, my Wool-Ease came in, so I'm knitting a bunch of hats with it to put on Etsy.  This one's not done, it has some cabled braid that goes around the back and down the corners on the sides, but I ran out of the first ball in the middle so I'm waiting to see how much the other hats use.  (Totoro makes a good hat model, right? :P)

That's all for now!
