Man, have I been cranking out the hats!! One or two a day it seems! I reknit a hat for one of my daughter’s friends. She had a baby and LOVES the Purl Soho Garter Ear Flap Hat I made him. He keeps growing! This is the second redo and to me looks big enough for an adult! Try to outgrow this one, you little monkey!!
I also knit two hats for The Yarnery. They asked for some shop samples and this project could not be easier or a quicker knit. The pattern is called PALET. I got two hats (child and adult) out of one skein of Woolfolk Flette Bulky. I blocked them over a plate and bowl/vase. Kind of an aerial act for the small hat!!
The yarn is super soft and you literally can knit this up in an evening. Perfect for a last minute gift!!
PS to Marlys: I used Rowan Pure Wool worsted washable for the gray and random stash yarn for the cream.
PS2 to Janet: Thanks for commenting! Just to clarify…my doilies are handknit, designed by Herbert Niebling! This one is called Frosted Ferns.
‘Tis the season for hats. Thank you for the pattern for the hostess hat. I’m making several to gift to family and friends. They will add such a festive air to the Christmas season. Your generosity is truly appreciated. Happy Thanksgiving.

My heart skips beats in admiration not over the hats–but over the doily you photograph them on….
but then you know my fascination with this crochet work….from Janet on the Atlantic Coast
