More Knit Hat Ideas for Science Marches

February 22, 2017 by Sarah White

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.

    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.

    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.

    So sorry about that! It’s fixed now.

    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!

    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.

Have you read?

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.
