Giveaway: Super Duper Knit Hats for Beginners

Super Duper Knit Hats review

 

Congratulations Patricia!

If you live in the Northern Hemisphere, it’s high time you should be knitting hats and other goodies to keep yourself and your loved ones warm.

This week’s giveaway will help you, even if you’ve never knit a hat before.

Super Duper Knit Hats for Beginners includes six projects — five hats and a cowl big enough to go over your head — that are all great for newer knitters because they’re knit flat. Yes that means seaming but it also means avoiding circulars and DPNs, which a lot of people like to do.

This is an ebook, and the winner will receive a digital copy.

If you’d like a chance to win this ebook, leave a comment on this post before the end of the day Sunday, October 23. I’d love to know what kind of hat you most like to wear. One of my favorites to design was a simple beret in self-striping sock yarn, but my favorite to wear is probably a big wooly flat hat I made in a fun homespun yarn.

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

Comments

  1. I love bowler hats & have a couple in different colours as well as a knitted one I picked up when I was in the Aran Islands (home of the Aran sweater) some years ago.

  3. Love to make hats! Probably my fave to knit and to wear is a somewhat slouchy striped hat. It’s fun to find out what your friends’ fave colors are and make them that way. Easy circular knitting and great hats!!!

  6. I love my “pickle” hat! It is a knit hat with a top that reminds me of a pickle stem. I love a hat that covers my ears from the winter wind!

  7. My husband is the expert knitter in our family. I learned basic stitches as a child, but never really did much with it. My husband makes socks, gloves, beautiful sweaters, etc, but I only remember him making 1 hat. This would be great for him.

  9. I would love to have this book so I can make hats for my friends this year for Christmas. Thanks for the chance to win.

  10. Hats are such a fashion statement. I love knitting them and matching them with a corresponding scarf. A lovely gift. I put knitted flowers and bead trim on them. I feel this makes them
    unique and individual. Cannot have too many hat pattern resources .

  11. I’ve really wanted to learn how to make hats! I like them all. A beret is cute but a stocking hat is warm and easy to wear while being active.

Fun Tank Top Knitting Patterns

It seems like every summer there’s a new crop of tank top knitting patterns, and what I noticed about a lot of the new releases this year is that they have fun little details that make them a little more interesting both to knit and to wear. 

Like the Sailoress Top from Joji Locatelli, which has a pretty cable worked up the center from and back, with shorter sections of cable work on the shoulders. It uses DK weight yarn and comes in 10 sizes up to a bust circumference of 72 inches/ 158 cm. You can find the pattern on Ravelry. 

Combine lace and cables in an allover pattern on the Mountain Laurel Top from Andrea Gaughan. This sport weight pattern is worked from the bottom up in the count and has 10 sizes. It’s available on Ravelry.

The Vienna Textured Tank Top by Sarah Hatton has wide ribs broken up by eyelets. There’s very little shaping so it’s a pretty easy knit worked in fingering weight yarn. There are nine sizes available and it’s a free download on Ravelry.

Make a tank with a boho vibe perfect for festival season with Mary Beth Temple’s Tropical Sunset Tank Top. Worked in worsted weight cotton yarn, it’s knit from the bottom up in pieces to make it more stable. The coloring changing yarn is perfect for this one, or you can make it solid or work in your own stripes. You can get the XS size free on her blog, and other sizes are available on Ravelry.

Looking for a cropped lacy V-neck top to knit for summer? Jessie Maed Designs has the Sundae Swirl Tank, worked in DK weight yarn in the round with a fun combination of lace and cables. The ribbing under the arms helps give it a great fit. There are six sizes up to a chest measurement of 62 inches/157.5 cm. You can find this one on Ravelry.

How about a tank top with buttons? The Ridge Tank Button Down from Bluebird Pine Shop could double as a vest in cooler weather. This one is made with light fingering weight yarn and comes in 10 sizes. Grab a copy on Ravelry.

An otherwise simple top can be made a little more interesting with the addition of a fun edging, like on Sarah Opie’s Seashell Tank. Worked in fingering weight yarn, it has a whopping 24 sizes and lots of customization options for making it fit the way you want. The edging is crocheted. Learn more on Ravelry.
