I don't design knit patterns very often, but when I do, I enjoy it! These Stripey Knit Slouchy Beanies were super fun to make, and I liked switching it up from my usual routine. Even better, this week's pattern is a reader request - to translate the Sweet Striped Crochet Hats into knitting. And to make it truly awesome... I've included sizing for the whole family! The Stripey Knit Slouchy Beanies are designed with a relaxed loose fit in mind. If you want them tighter, use a size smaller…

A LOVELY EASY PATTERN. I can’t believe how many people have knit this! Thanks so much. Looking through all the versions it’s hard to pick if it looks good in solid, semi solid, self striping or variegated. Excellent.

So simple even your man will wear it!

It is dangerous to let your children browse Pinterest. When mine do then it usually turns into another project for me. Daughter #1 saw this cap and wanted it. At $14 it wasn't a bad price, but when I said we could make one she looked at me a little incredulously. I've made many a knit cap using circular needles and I knew I could come awfully close to this style. I made a practice one with some yarn from her stash and came up with the pattern adapted from the cap pattern I usually use…

All Grown Up Slouchy Hat

I've never claimed to be the most tech-saavy person, but after struggling all morning to link a PDF of my pattern for an adorable Creeper hat that I made to my Ravelry (my first design!), I almost feel like just eating the yarn. Instead of that unfortunate outcome, I am going to see if I can just put it in here and be done with the computer frustration for a bit so that I can get back to the tea, fire and knitting that is waiting cheerfully for me. I hope, so hope, this works! Main color…

Fans of the bumpy purl stitch will love this Purl Happy Knit Hat pattern. Rows of purls contrast knit stitches and give the hat a delightfully bumpy look. Kids are sure to love this knit hat pattern, and you’ll love how easily you can master this project. The decreases for this hat are neatly hidden, making this a very satisfying hat to knit up.

NOTE: Since a lot of you are asking if there is a mistake in the pattern: no, there isn’t. On some photos it might look like the hem is knit in rib st, but it isn’t. It’s plain St st. Please understand that I’m no longer replying to messages concerning that issue.
