Celebrate Star Wars by Knitting a Hat

December 15, 2015 by Sarah White

star wars hat knitting patternsAs 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.

Knitting Pattern Review: Sabai Top by PaulaStrickt

Trending now — and for good reason!

Alright fellow knitters, if you’ve been scrolling through Instagram or Pinterest lately, you’ve probably spotted the Sabai Top popping up everywhere. And let me tell you — the hype is totally justified. This lightweight, drapey top by PaulaStrickt has quickly become a must-knit, and it’s easy to see why.

The Sabai Top has that magical mix of style and simplicity. With its elegant A-line shape, soft rolled neckline, and relaxed fit, it flatters every body and suits just about every wardrobe. It’s knit top-down in the round, which means no seams (yes please!), and it flows beautifully thanks to its clever shaping.

It’s ideal for warmer weather and perfect for layering. I’ve seen it styled casually over jeans or thrown over a sundress, and honestly? It looks stunning every single time. That easy, wearable style is what’s made this one take off in the knitting world right now.

PaulaStrickt’s instructions are beautifully laid out, with both English and German versions included. It’s written with clarity and care, and includes helpful photos throughout. I’d say it’s best for confident beginners and up — if you’re comfortable knitting in the round and shaping, you’ll be right at home.

The sizing is generous and inclusive, and it’s so adaptable with different fibres. Linen, cotton, bamboo blends — they all shine in this pattern. I’ve cast on with a blush cotton-linen from my stash, and it’s knitting up like a dream.

This is one of those patterns you just know you’ll make more than once. The fit, the drape, the ease… it’s everything I want in a handmade top. No wonder it’s trending — it’s the kind of timeless knit that never really goes out of style.
