#cabled hat

Well, with the heat wave finally over here in Southern Ontario, I don't feel so weird talking about a winter hat for Free Pattern Friday! 😅

Tributary Hat

Free pattern for a women's knit hat with a celtic knot. Loose-fitting with ribbing for a firm hold at the brim. Works up quickly using aran

After all, winter is always looming. (Ok, that came out far more ominous than I intended 😂)

But, the free Tributary Hat pattern is great for if you're planning for holiday knits, or, just need to knit yourself a new winter hat before the weather starts getting cold again! It's a fairly simple design (the most complicated part is picking up for the hat after the cables), and only uses one skein of aran yarn, so it's great for stashbusting, too!

Finished the breeze cable hat!

As I appear to have some spare time on my hands, I've decided now is probably a good opportunity to get back to designing. Before I do though, I just wanted to do a brief throwback.

I was reminded about this hat earlier this week. I designed it about a decade ago, making it quite possibly the first thing I ever designed, even though I only got around to writing it down last year.

This hat was designed for and named after my mum, Julia. She's 62 years old and works as a school crossing lady, and is still going into work every day because the kids need her. In Britain our Mothers Day is this Sunday, and I'm not going to be able to see her on that day, or probably in the next month, or potentially even until after her birthday in Summer.

So far, no one else has made this hat. Or at least, if they have, they haven't posted it to Ravelry.

I don't really know where I'm going with this, other than I'm kinda homesick and would love it if more of my mum's namesake were out there. From now until the end of the week, any sales of this pattern are going towards buying my mum chocolate because I love her. And also because when she buys herself chocolate she usually buys high dairy-content despite being dairy intolerant because it's 'cheaper'.

Pattern available here.

When you finish a thing and it can be worn two ways!

Wheat and Chaff Hat pattern by Caitlyn Smallwood

This warm and cozy hat came to me in a (day)dream, and I couldn’t help but make a pattern for it. It has a lot of nice texture and is very thick, making it a perfect winter hat. The patterns are overall pretty simple, but come together to make an impressive-looking knit.

Check out my hat pattern!

I'm not sure if anyone else is having the same issue as me, but does anyone else struggle to post to tumblr from the app? I have written and posted so many posts over the last few weeks and just this morning I realised that they haven't posted. Anyway, here is my new honeycomb beanie pattern. The hat is available on my Etsy and the pattern will soon be available on both my Etsy and Ravelry. Instagram: @ theknitteddingo Etsy: http://www.etsy.co.uk/theknitteddingo
