Knit a Pokemon Go Beanie 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!

Knit a Sweet Blanket with a Pocket for Treasures

When my daughter was in early elementary school we were at Joann together (RIP) and she picked out some variegated pink and white blanket yarn for me to knit a blanket for her bed. Now probably 10 years later, it’s one of her favorite possessions. I note this because the blankets we give to little ones might seem simple on the surface, like something they need to keep warm, but they can turn into so much more. 

Take the Pocketful of Love Blanket from Purl Soho. On the surface this is a pretty but also easy to knit blanket for a little one. It’s worked in garter stitch stripes using sport weight yarn (the sample is a superwash wool, but this would also be nice in cotton or a blend) and available in a crib or small throw size. Though of course because it’s garter stitch, it’s pretty easy to make it any size you want. 

But what makes this blanket extra special is the little details. The slip stitch selvedges and I-cord bind off give it a crisp look that’s perfect with the garter stitch of the body. 

And then there’s the pocket. 

This is a big pocket. At 10 inches wide and 12.25 inches tall (that’s 25.4 by 31 cm) for the crib size and 12.75 by 14.25 inches (32.4 by 36 cm) for the throw, you can easily fit a favorite stuffed animal, toy or book into the pocket. 

I love how even though it uses the same striped garter stitch pattern as the blanket, it’s stitched down so the stripes run the opposite way (horizontal when the blanket stripes are vertical), though of course you can match stripes if you’d rather.

I think this blanket has the potential to be greatly loved by the little one its given to, and by the knitter look for an easy, pretty baby blanket with a little extra useful twist.
