Watching Out for You

One more hat coming off of the needles for Ken. This is a pattern I saved about a year ago. I love how it is knit to a point and then turned inside out and finished so that when you turn up the brim, the ribbing looks the same. The decreases at the top at a great design feature too. The pattern is called Marsan Watchcap.

Square On

I decided to make a couple of more hats for Ken before he starts chemo. He seems to like the previous hat I knit for him. This pattern, Turn a Square, is very popular on Ravelry. It was a fun knit. It was the first time I knit using two colors with out cutting and tying on a new color. Learning how to carry the yarn not in use up the back was easy to learn, but I need to play with my tension some. I love how the hat pattern looks like squares once you start the decreases. I can see why this pattern is popular.

A Hat for Ken

You have probably figured out by now that I love to knit hats. If someone needs a hat, I am your girl. Kathy mentioned that Ken's knit hats were wearing out. I was on the job and knit one up. I really like this pattern. It is called "A Hat Fit for a Boyfriend". It has some great decreases on the crown and fits great. It is one on my "go to" hats now.
