Does anyone know where I might be able to find a pattern for a dresser girl's toddler hat? I'm not even sure what style right now as I don't know what's out there...I was hoping to be able to find some styles I could look at to decide. I would need a pattern for something multi-seasonal and not just winter gear. Thanks!
This is the cutest pattern...it has ties that thread through ear flaps, and you can button up the ear flaps into the hat when it's not cold. It was a little bit of a frustrating knit for me (I was a beginner when I made it and didn't realize it wasn't exactly a beginner pattern ) but I learned a lot of new skills from it!
This looks like it could be made dressier....maybe in a lighter color and lighter weight yarn like Bernat Cottontots. You could add a flower...crocheted or artificial. Looks like an ideal basic, but fancy hat with great decorative possibilities.
Thanks for the ideas!!! These are really cute--just what I was looking for--but I am so intimidated to try double-pointed needles!!! I have no problem with circular needles, but I am scared to try the double-pointed ones. But if I learned how to knit on them, it would greatly expand what I can knit. :(
cookworm: don't be afraid...really...I just tried them about two weeks ago to knit a preemie hat and it wasn't bad at all...the first few rows are a little akward but after that it is so easy! The only problem I've encountered is keeping the stitch where I join my round tight enough...it looks a little loose on the hats I made.
The lacy bonnet from Knittign for two is knit flat
And if you're truly intimidated by DPNs, take a look at Amy's video on small diameter knitting with two circular needles. That's what I do the vast majority of the time, and I it.
