More Knit Hat Ideas for Science Marches

by 6 Comments

hat knitting patterns for the science marchesEarlier this month I told you about the brain hat, an early contender for the pattern to knit for the upcoming marches for science. It’s a great hat, but all that I-cord is, frankly, pretty boring and takes a long time to knit.

Here are a couple of other options for science march knitting, if you’re so inclined. Or they’re just cool hats for any occasion.

ChemKnits added a little helix cable to the traditional pussyhat pattern to make a GENEie Pussyhat. So cute!

And then there’s the Resistor hat from Craftimism, symbolizing resistors used in electronics to slow down an electric current.

Either of these would be awesome to knit for geeky friends or yourself to wear any time of year.

  1. I find the term for the hat to be very offensive. If you didn’t like hearing President Trump saying it on tape from 10+ years ago, why do you use the term? Doesn’t it give others the impression that all women are ok with anyone using this term? I am offended.

  2. Hi Sarah, I wanted to make a correction to your post. Knithacker shared my GENEie Pussyhat design but ChemKnits is the designer of the GENEie series. I’m really happy that you enjoy the design! I’ve included the link to the GENEie Pussyhat Knitting pattern on my name in this comment.

  4. Hello! Thank you so much for featuring my design (I am Heidi from Craftimism with the Resistor Hat design). I wanted to tell you about the new March for Science Official Crafting group on facebook. (https://www.facebook.com/groups/295161777566144/) We are encouraging any blue or green hat for the march and are trying to mobilize knitters to make hats. 🙂 We have a range of suggested designs from beginner to more advanced but we should all look unified with green or blue. We are also set up to take handmade hat donations for the march in D.C. through projectthinkingcap.org. We’d love any publicity you could give us! Thanks again for featuring my hat!

  6. Mary M, the problem isn’t with Trump using the word, it’s with him grabbing them without permission. It’s called assault and not only is it offensive but it’s also illegal.

Christmas Sock Knitting Patterns

Why should the fireplace get all the fun? Instead of knitting stockings this year, why not whip up a pair of Christmas themed socks? These Christmas sock knitting patterns are lots of fun to make and you can wear them to holiday gatherings for years to come.

For our friends in the southern part of the world, there are the Christmas in July socks from the Kiwi Lodge – Kylie (Ravelry link). These shorty socks are covered in Christmas trees and have bright pink heels and toes for a tropical feel. There’s also an option to make a longer sock if you celebrate somewhere it’s colder.

Twin Stitches Designs (Ravelry) has a fun pattern with mix and match colorwork motifs you can use to build your own cozy Christmas socks. From the sample socks I see Christmas puddings, trucks hauling trees, Santa belts, ornaments and a couple of different borders. There may be more patterns included but the listing doesn’t say. Make a pair that matches or use different motifs on each foot for extra holiday cheer.

If you want to stick to Christmas puddings on your holiday socks, check out this cute pattern from Stone Knits. These lovely socks feature a band of puddings around the leg and a bit of holly by the toes.

These vintage holiday light socks from Grey Owl Knits by Sarah are classic looking and lots of fun at the same time. I love this color combination but of course you can make your lights and stripes whatever colors you like or have on hand. They’re worked using stranded knitting.

And if you’d like even more of a mix of patterns for your socks, try Barbara Ceglédi’s Christmas Chaos socks, a free pattern on Ravelry. The pattern includes 25 little motifs you can choose from, ranging from snowflakes and Christmas trees to elf hats, reindeer and hearts.
