It’s a Hat Day

We had a lot of customers in yesterday who were purchasing yarn for hats. It got me thinking about some of the hats that we have knit over the years. I’m sorry for the small font. I cut and pasted from old blog posts and it won’t let me make the writing larger.

This is Flicker & Flame from Andrea Mowry. You can purchase the pattern on her website. I used Woolstok and Dream State (the worsted weight version of the hat).

Hats for the whole family in two different yarn weights! These fun colorwork beanies can also double as your swatch for the Spark Cardi or Sparky Pullover! These hats are knit from the bottom up, with the colorwork motifs being read from a chart.

It was so cold out that Beth was wearing it around the house. Even for a lay down on the couch. The hat needs to be blocked but I don’t need to stretch it - it is the perfect size. 


Beth loves knitting hats and wanted to try out Dream State. After looking on Ravelry she chose the Basic Norwegian Star Hat (pattern free on Ravelry). The hat took one skein of Woolstok and about 1/2 skein of Dream State.

Beth’s Valanar (pattern purchased on Ravelry) with one skein of tosh vintage.

Beth knit the 21 Color Slouch from Blue Sky Fibers.


We haven’t knit this set up but I love the cable pattern in the hat and scarf. Fair Winds Beanie and Scarf (purchase the pattern on Ravelry) in Woolstok from Blue Sky Fibers.

This nautical blessing describes that happy confluence of good fortune and the good sense to go with the flow. The simple braid pattern on the scarf has cable twists on alternating sides for complete reversibility. The cables on the cap converge neatly at the crest. Both promise smooth sailing!

Blue Sky Fibers Woolstok is strong and sturdy and gently plied. Shows off pattern and texture in crisp relief, making it an ideal yarn for these warm cabled accessories. Surprisingly soft, lofty and light - you can almost feel the lanolin in this select 100% Peruvian Fine Highland Wool. A wonderfully expansive palette of twenty-one colors inspired by the craggy, unspoiled terrain of Peru.

Beanie is knit in the round; scarf is knit flat. Instructions for both are given in text format, with charts for following cable patterns.
You'll need 2 skeins for the hat and 6 skeins for the scarf (8 skeins for a set).

I made it to the colour on my Trinigan. 


It’s time for Yellowstone. The first episode of Season 5 was released today. More knitting time!!
