Knit a Pokemon Go Hat for Your Collector

by

pokemon go knit hat patternI know some people are still into Pokemon Go (though I have to admit I never played it) and with cool weather coming around again so (oh so soon!), it might be time to stitch a Pokemon Go hat to protect the ears of your favorite creature hunter.

This is a free pattern available from designer Mrs Leudeke. When I tried to access her site it wasn’t working, but I did find the pattern on the Internet Archive if you want to check it out and was able to successfully download the PDF from there.

I really love the multicolored pompom on this one, too, though of course you could leave it off. The pattern offers two sizes and five design variations, and is worked in sport weight yarn.

Are you or someone you know playing Pokemon Go? I’d love to hear about it.

  1. I can’t find the pattern through Ravelry or her site either, and now the Internet Archive link doesn’t work! Any other ideas how I can get the pattern? My friend would LOVE this…

  2. I was able to access the pattern page but the PDF didn’t download correctly. I’m not sure where else to find it but there are other Pokemon inspired hats out there!

Add a Little Lace to Your Knitting Patterns

If you’re new to lace knitting or just aren’t sure how to incorporate the technique into garments, check out these tops and sweaters that use lace as a decorative element.

The easiest lace out there is eyelets, and you can practice them plenty with this eyelet covered sweater from Knitcro Addict. It uses light/DK weight yarn and is worked in four pieces knit flat. It’s intended to be a little cropped and a little oversized, and includes sizes XS to XXL in the pattern.

If you’re in parts of the world where it’s getting colder as you read this, the Nora sweater from Bummbul might be a good choice. This is actually a great one for learning lace because it’s worked in super bulky yarn, which makes it easier to see what you’re doing and makes the lace super graphic. This one just comes in one size, with a 42 inch (106) cm bust, but that could fit a variety of people depending on how much ease you like.

Minimi Knit Design has a cute allover lace cardigan worked in one piece from the bottom up. It’s worked in lace weight mohair held double, which maybe isn’t the best for those new to lace (because it can be hard to rip out) but it sure is pretty. Sizes range to fit from 30 to 66 inches/76 to 168 cm bust measurements.

If you’d rather not have lace all over your sweater, you can knit the Lumi sweater from Originally Lovely, which has a chevron lace pattern on the yoke and is otherwise worked in reverse stockinette stitch. (It’s worked inside out so you don’t have to purl every stitch.) The pattern has 9 sizes from XS to 5XL and uses worsted weight yarn.

Or try the super romantic sookie blouse from Trust the mojo (available on Ravelry). This sweet top is started working flat from the bottom up and has a V-neck and I-cord edgings. The sleeves are worked separately in the round, and the pieces are all joined together to work in one piece to finish off the top. It comes in eight sizes and is available in English and French.

You can also pair lacy sleeves with an otherwise plain top, like on the Starflower Wrap from Annelise Driscoll Gingrow. This intermediate pattern makes a wrap sweater with generous lacy sleeves and a double wrap belt. The pattern has nine sizes, from XS to 5XL, and is available for free from Hobbi.
