Propeller Hat

Thinking about winter hats yet?

The Propeller is a gorgeous little unisex hat, with a beret-like style



This is just 1 in a series of 8 beautifully designed hats by Woolly Wormhead that I am able to knit for little ones.

These hats are available in 4 sizes:
XS - Premmie (12"/30.5 cm)
S - Newborn to 3 months (14"/35.5cm)
M - 3-6 months (16"/41cm)
L - 6-12 months (18"/46cm)

In saying that, I found this quite a relaxed fit, the largest size fitted both my 12 month old and my little almost 3 year old (at a push)

I am planning on knitting all the other ones in the series to pop on here, but if you are interested in seeing the others then email me and I'll show you the designers pictures. There is a wide range of styles, including some that tie under the chin like earflap hats - they're all fabulous, of course!

Contact me via email if you are interested in finding out more information or would like to place in order. Prices are around the $20 mark (depending upon on the type/quality of yarn and size)

Hats, Hats And More Hats

Lately, I've been knitting hats - 7 hats to be precise.

A friend of mine, Rachael is an amazing photographer (seriously, check out her site, she is really reasonably priced and FAR nicer pics than pixie photo!) anyway, she was after some hats to do a photoshoot for her new photography business



We started with her selecting some hat patterns, yarns and sizes and voila - 7 hats for Rach

I started with this little blue Chemo Earflap Hat - the pattern is by Gabriella Henry.



And followed this with a larger version in a neopolitan coloured chunky yarn




Then along came one of my personal favourites, a chunky newborn hat with cables.



Then a little green 'Gooseberry' hat in avocado green. This one looks good the right way out and inside out




Then came my first 'Tubey' in chocolate brown.  I LOVE these hats, such a good fit and too cute

 
 
I could actually put in the whole sequence of Timothy fighting to not have his photo taken with a hat on - but that's another post. Let's just say though that there won't be many photos of him anymore as a hat model though as he rebels against his mummy with her woolly hats and camera :`(

Then the 'Propeller' hat, again - another fab hat! This one in Peony Pink




And then the last one, a sunshine yellow 'Tubey'



I hope they're spot on Rach. I can't wait to see how the photos turn out - I can imagine they'll put mine to shame (but then, she's the pro)
