Antler Hat


What a fun hat pattern to knit up quickly with some super squishy wool.  The wool is from Andrea's shop -  tributary yarns.  This wool has a lovely hand and the twist is perfect, I highly recommend this worsted weight wool.

Tin Can Knits have an array of patterns that are great for beginners and intermediate knitters.  This pattern incorporates easy cabling and knitting in the round.  The pattern has written and charted instructions.

    That's a great hat! Love the color of the yarn (but that's a given, I love green). Also love the pattern.
    If I feel up to following instructions (I hardly ever do) this is one of the patterns I'd really like to try.

    Super cute hat!

    I'm working on the second crocheting project to get it finished up. It actually had been my first project, but when I started the second project of the pink shell stitch baby afghan it was a pattern that flows so easily and I finished it first! You know how that goes. :-)

    That is a wonderful Antler hat! I've knit this pattern twice, once for an adult and once for a baby, and it works beautifully in any size. Enjoy your lovely warm hat!

    Very nice! I'm thinking I may have to make this. Everyone who has says it is a great knit.

    Karen! This is so exciting. This is the first project I've seen completed with my yarn that I haven't knit myself. Eep. It came out wonderfully!

    I also really love this worsted. I'm pretty picky, but I think it has good loft and isn't itchy. Plus it's from happy sheep, so I'm thrilled.

    Yay! And thanks for sharing.

    I knit an Antler Sweater and Antler Mittens but not the hat. Yours turned out lovely. I surely do like that shade of green. Happy Easter!

    I love that pattern, I have thought to use it so many times, but can't say why I still haven't made it. I just need to do it and have the perfect worsted for it. Maybe this year?

    I like the color of your beanie and I love how the cabling came out. I wonder if there is a trick to decreasing with cables...

    I love this pattern. I've knit two Antler hats up and wish I had someone else to knit it for again :)

    Love your Antler hat! I knit a few of them for Christmas gifts last year and it was a fun, quick knit.

Weekends

My weekend happily contained: -wearing the above woolens all at the same time without being hot -so many walks and taking in the changing leaves. -a leaf shower on Saturday-the wind swirled the leaves off the trees up in the air to float down -changing screen savers to autumn themes! -a craft fair where my husband and I say "we could make that", but we don't. -french fries at the craft fair -scrambled eggs and toast for dinner because we were lazy. -football season has descended in my house. he was in the front room watching whatever is on today -I sat in the family room and watched A Tree Grows in Brooklyn .   Now I want to read it again. -Oh! I finished the socks!! So I wound up about six skeins of yarn and have three projects ready -started a cowl for me in fall colors (I hope to finish before fall ends) -enjoying Spirits of Joy .  Hannah graciously had a one day free sign up for her birthday at the end of September which I luckily saw on Twitter.  Than...

  Good morning to you! How are you? I'm excited about my hat that I've been knitting enjoying the sea of stockinette stitches. When I first started the hat I thought it would be too small, now I wonder if it will be too big. Gah. I will find out soon I guess. I wish the photo about showed how beautiful the colors are in real life, you'll have to trust me on this! Below is my next knitting project, the habitation throw . I will definitely use the pink and gray, I'm still not sure about that purple, I might have a look-see in my stash and do another ponder about that color. I chose this pattern because I can use up some of my stash and I adore Helen Stewart's patterns. What are you working on this week? Also: I will probably not be posting this Friday and the following Monday because of my family visiting. I hope to be back next Wednesday (unless I change my mind).
