As you probably already know, the newest Star Wars movie comes out this week, and I wanted to celebrate with a bit of knitting.
My BB-8 inspired droid hat pattern for kids is available on Craft Bits, and it would be pretty easy to make for a larger head, you’d just need to add some more orange to the colorwork section around the bottom.
I also love the The Force Awakens Hat from Hannah L. on Ravelry, which is a free pattern full of colorwork goodness. It features ships, Stormtroopers and the words The Force Awakens. So cool.
Are you knitting anything special to commemorate the new movie, or have you knit Star Wars gear in the past? I’d love to hear about it!
I just finished a wonderful R2D2 hat for my grand-niece, who is twelve. The free pattern, by Carissa Browning, is available on Ravelry.

Thanks for the links to your pattern and to Hannah’s Force Awakens hat.
That Force Awakens hat is going right to the top of my knitting to-do list. Thanks for sharing and posting this pattern!
