Snowflake hat

April 30, 2008

This is my own design, something I knitted up to sell at my arts center shop. It’s a simple, basic child’s knit hat pattern, which I modified by not doing the increases at the crown. Instead, I knitted straight and when it reached the length I wanted, bound off. Crocheted a tie from novelty yarn with little white ribbons plied in, attaching some clear plastic snowflake beads. Happy to say that the 3 or 4 versions I made last fall all sold at Christmas.
