Artlady,
I would love to have the pattern, too. None of the links took me to the pattern -- in English. Thanks
Betty

I can see why your husband liked it, it is a very cool hat. Could be a magazine worthy hat too.

Unfortunately, I do not have the pattern.

I only have the link, same as you. On the first page you land on, it's in a foreign language to me, however on the far left column there is a red hat with the words "Pattern in English" I clicked it, and landed on another page which required me to log in "if I've been invited". Well, I haven't, so I guess that's that. The designer is no longer offering her hat pattern to others, at least not that I can see.

Now out of curiosity I'm going over to Rav patterns and see what they have. Then I'll try KnittingPatternCentral.

Sorry, must not have clicked the quote button like I thought I did.

Art Lady said:

VERY EASY. However, it requires 16" circs for the cast on and the first 10" or so...and finally, after the stitches are decreased to the point that you can't knit in-the-round any further, you must have a set of at least 4 dpn's to finish off the top of the hat.

My opinion is that pattern designers and yarn companies tell you to do the hat decreases with double points so they can sell you more needles. I don't believe they're necessary. I like to use magic loop for my hats. I don't use 16 inch. The longer the circular, the better. I'm using 32 inch circulars because that's what came with my interchangeable set. Eventually I want to buy a 40 inch. I use a single or traveling loop for the body of the hat and switch to magic loop for the decreases when it gets a bit small and tight.

Could you email me this pattern? The thread for it no longer works!

Thank you

I love the finished look of your cap. Would you pm the pattern to me? The link does not work when I click on English pattern and the link in Ravelry requires that you log in to a certain website to get it. Thanks.

Well scratch the above. If I had read the entire thread I would have noticed that the pattern is no longer available.

ETA~ I found one that is almost identical. It is made with sock yarn though instead of a worsted, so I probably won't be making this one.

Somebody should be able to convert this pattern to worsted weight yarn!

I'd have to figure out how to knit a cowboy hat for my Texas Hubby<G>. He will occasionally wear a baseball type billed cap if we're at the shooting range, otherwise he's a Stetson kinda guy!

I do love this cap, though. Betcha my son in Illinios would get some wear out of it.
