Hi! I am in the process of trying out this pattern. I have so much yarn I need to find something easy and simple to use it all up! I love how your ribbed hats come together!!
Hello: I belong to a local knitting group and I would love to try making this hat as my contribution to our charity project -- all the hats we are making will be given away... Does that count as personal use? Thank you.
@Anonymous The charity I currently donate to is Awareness, Respect, Compassion (http://arcnow.info/). You can read more about the charity at http://agirlandheryarnfk.blogspot.com/2010/09/life-funds-for-north-korean-refugees.html . In addition to supporting North Korean refugees, ARC also donates items to homeless shelters and the Washington Animal League (when they receive animal beds or mats, like the ones I've made).
You can also try http://cache.lionbrand.com/charityConnection.html . This is actually how I found ARC.
Thank you!! I just finished my second hat as Christmas gifts for my teenage nephews. I hope they love them. BTW, it looks super cute with the bottom unrolled and worn slouchy. :)
Thank you so much for sharing your lovely crochet and your patterns!! I also love to crochet for charities. For cancer patients in honor of my mom, hats for the homeless & for preemie babies. Thanks for the tip on your scrap yarn...your scarf is very pretty! :)
Awesome hat! I made it with chunky yarn and a 6.5mm hook. I did it in a evening. My daughter wanted a bright orange hat to deer hunt with and this will be warm and worked up so fast. Thank you for the pattern
I think you are referring to one of the comments above. I think that comment referred to this page: http://agirlandheryarnfk.blogspot.com/2010/08/puffed-shell-stitch-scrap-yarn-blanket.html
Plan on making these for our troops coming home . Part of an on going project at Pease Base in Portsmouth, NH Can't wait to try it! Thank you for the Free Pattern. Carolyn
I have been looking for a pattern that I can understand. (I have a bit of dementia) I have been crocheting for over 50 years so know my stitches, it's just the patterns I have trouble working out. So here goes. Thank you for sharing your pattern.
I love the pattern and I look forward to making it! I did have a question though, on the first pattern if I wanted to make the fold over bit a different color, what would you suggest I do?
I'm glad you like the pattern and I like your idea!
I think what you can do is chain the first 10 or so stitches in your fold-over color. Then drop that color (don't cut) and keep chaining in your main color. After you turn to start the first sc row, do the first 25 stitches in your main color, or however many stitches it takes to get back to the fold-over color chains. When you get to those, drop the main color (don't cut) and pick up the fold-over color. Finish that row with the fold-over color. Basically, you'll have two active, uncut strands of yarn while making the hat. If this doesn't make sense, let me know. I can work on a blog post showing this technique this weekend if needed (but I might do it anyway because I really like your idea).
I made a pattern tutorial video for what I described above. I feared that what I wrote wasn't clear enough. Here is the link to the two tone Ribbed Winter Hat: https://agirlandheryarnfk.blogspot.com/2019/02/two-tone-ribbed-winter-hat.html.
Very nice. Love them. Thanks so much for your free pattern. Am going to make one tomorrow.

Yep, contributions to charities is perfectly fine. As you can tell by other posts on this blog, I do that all the time.
ReplyDeletecan you give me an idea of a charity that accepts these hats? Thanks!

Hope this helps!
Can you say approx. how much yarn you used for one hatof worsted weight yarn and size K hook?
ReplyDeleteIt has been awhile since I've made one, but from what I can remember, it was about 1 skein of Vanna's Choice yarn (170 yd).
