Giveaway: Margeau Chapeau

July 25, 2016 by Sarah White

Margeau Chapeau book review

Judy is the winner.

Last week I told you about the book full of pretty, classic, but with a bit of luxury worked in hat knitting patterns called Margeau Chapeau. I’m delighted to be able to give away a physical (and autographed, from what I hear!) copy of the book to one lucky (U.S. only, please) winner.

In this book you’ll get a bunch of great hat projects you’ll love to knit for yourself and friends and family. It may just give you all the projects you need for your holiday gift knitting all in one place.

If you’d like a chance to win this book, leave a comment on this post before the end of the day Sunday, July 31. I’d love to hear about your favorite hat that you’ve ever knit, or a hat that you own that you wish you could knit.

One of my favorites is the Eyelet Beret from my colorwork book. It’s so fun and easy in self-striping yarn, and totally cheerful in shape and color. I love it.

Thanks for visiting, commenting and sharing, and good luck!

    I LOVE making hats and think my favorite one so far is Monte Rosa, a combination of lace and cables in an easy pattern (sorry, I’m not sure how to link to the pattern page on Ravelry!). This looks like a great book to share with my cousin, who I am currently teaching to knit. Thanks for the awesome giveaway!!

    I live in NE CT where it gets quite cold in the winter months. I love to wear different hats and I love to knit ( and crochet lol).

    I like to knit hats for charity. I am working on one now, although my favorite was a floppy brim hat I made myself in high school…a long time ago!

    I would enjoy having more pattern choices for my charity knitting

    I’ve been knitting a lot of hats lately for no one in particular and no particular reason.

    I don’t really have a favorite hat pattern. It is usually whatever hat I am currently making.

  12. Heidi Kirsch says

    Love knitting hats. When I get frustrated with bigger projects not working, I make a hat to boost my self-confidence. My favorite still is my first, I’d never done decreases before or seams and its just beautiful.

    I knitted my first hat this winter for my daughter ribbing with sequin yarn. She loved it! Would love to try more challenging patterns like the one on the cover. This book looks awesome. Thank you for the chance to win!

    It’s COLD up here where I live, and I fell in love with the hat on the cover!! I’m sure that there are going to be tons of ideas for me to make for friends, family, and charities. Thank you so much for your generous giveaway!!

    I have made quite a few hats. My favorite is an Andean earflap hat. Right now I am knitting hats for the Seaman’s Church.

    My favorite hat had a bobble pattern, lots of fun to knit!

    The first hat i knitted. I made it in two shades of purple. It is from Klutz Learn to knit book/kit.

  21. Judy says

    July 26, 2016 at 9:24 am

    I teach Special Education and have enjoyed teaching many of my students how to knit. Knitting is a lifelong activity that requires art, math, and time to achieve a nice reward-a finished product.

    I knitted my first hat when I was 12, as a gift for a friend. It was very simple, knitted flat and with a pom pom. That was back in 1973 when I was living in Colorado. She loved it and really appreciated it for those very frigid winters! It was Navy blue and gold, the colors of our junior high school.

    The one hat I want to knit is the Trilobite hat.

  27. Helen King says

  28. Jeanne says

    July 27, 2016 at 10:51 pm

    My favorite hat is the earflap hat from Charlotte Schurch’s “Hats On”. I’ve made a dozen of them. I just thumbed through Margeau Chapeaux at my LYS and it was lovely although not in my current hobby budget. I’d love to win!

  29. Jeannetta K. Whitehead says

    I created a hat for my daughter once, a floppy brimmed hat… don’t know how I made, didn’t have a pattern but as a teenager she thought it was the best hat ever!

  32. Trish says

    July 29, 2016 at 11:13 pm

    I want to knit one of your cute Pom hats!

  33. Arielle Swalboski says

  34. Marilyn Karjalainen says

    July 29, 2016 at 11:50 pm

    I think that the most fun I had making a hat is the Baa-ble Hat (Ravelry). I like color variations and the topic was a great one for a new wool spinner.

  35. Marcy Eberbach says

    July 30, 2016 at 8:05 am

    I have not made a hat yet. I usually make shawls and sweaters. I think it’s time to start!

  36. Stephanie Worsnopp says

    July 30, 2016 at 9:26 am

    Hats are my favorite thing to knit. My favorite hat that I have knit is a tricolor hat that uses slip stitches to make an interesting colorwork pattern. Would love to win this book and try out some new hat patterns!

  37. Mary Simpson says

    I love the purple hat on the cover! Margeau’s patterns are so well written. Her Sunrise wrap is next on my knit list 😉

    I love knitting hats. I haven’t come across one that is my favorite yet since it is too hard to choose just one.

  39. Karey says

    July 30, 2016 at 4:53 pm

    My favorite hat that I’ve ever made was just a simple hat for my Dad. I lined it with fleece. He wears is all the time in the winter. He wears it so much, he asked me to make another one for him.

    I love the hat on the cover!

Practice Colorwork on a Cute Knit Bunny

Sometimes I feel like knitters get intimidated to try new things because they think they need to start with a big project. Your first time working in the round doesn’t need to be a sock, and your first colorwork doesn’t need to be a sweater, for example. You can find little projects that use the skills you want to learn to build your confidence before you move on to something that requires more time commitment.

This adorable knit bunny, for example.

The colorwork bunny from Knit Picks was designed by Amy Munson and is a kind of bowling pin shaped bunny complete with a knit hat, contrasting inner ears and a little stranded colorwork on its body. Note that the ears are attached the the hat not the bunny, but you could stitch them to the bunny if you’d rather.

It’s worked from the bottom up and also has a tiny pompom tail you can’t see in the picture but it’s a really cute touch. There are a variety of little fair isle patterns to choose from to make the best bunny for you.

The bunny comes out about 8 inches tall (or just over 20 cm) and use several colors to complete the colorwork, depending on the design you choose.

You can purchase the pattern by itself from Knit Picks, or make a kit that includes sport weight yarn in all the colors you need for your creation. There are gray and brown options for the main body of the bunny, but of course if you’re using your own yarn you can make it whatever color you like.

Once you’ve tried colorwork (maybe also working in the round and shaping if those are skills you haven’t used before) in a little project like this you’ll be ready to take on something bigger in no time.

Check out the pattern on Knit Picks.
