Mad Hatter

It's that time of year again... We're preparing for colder weather, which will be here in as little as 6 weeks from now. We could even have snow. I've begun making hats for all and sundry. Many of you know that this is one of my favorite projects. I've just completed 'acorn' hats for the boys and two of these lovely confections for us girls. Below is the pattern so you can have a go.

You need:
2 balls Lion Brand "Kool Wool" ( I used 'grass')
2 balls Lion Brand "Fun Fur" (I used 'mango')
Set dpns size 10.5

For baby CO 42 stitches, work in stocking stitch for 6". Cut long tail and draw through all stitches to close. Secure by taking stitches across closure, bring tail inside and run tail through several stitches inside, trim. Viola!

** For older child CO 54 stitches and work 7", adult 60 stitches and work for 8".

Happy knitting!
