Mod Hat
Greetings one and all, here I am again - can you believe it?! Please don't worry, things will slow down, in a couple of weeks! I have not turned into a machine, I have just been having fun on a little bit of a hat journey!
I released 2 hat patterns recently, namely the Pod Hat, and later Pod's 'fraternal twin', Bod. A huge thank you to those who purchased either of these patterns. I see both designs becoming classic go to knits, with their unisex appeal and the 5 sizes they both cater for. In case you were wondering, Bod is slightly less complicated than Pod, and also features less rows and stitches to the pattern. A lot of people have thought they were looking at the same hat, but no, I can assure them that was not the case!
Today I have great pleasure in presenting to you, the Mod Hat,
which you can see has a very different appearance
to any of my previous hat designs.
This one includes instructions for 4 sizes and basically came about because of a lovely ribbed bobble stitch pattern I have always meant to use at least once. I'm a bit of a sucker for bobbles and texture. I decided that perhaps the time had come for something a little bit different, something more distinctive and eye catching, and possibly also a bit more feminine looking, which I think you will agree this design is. I am very happy with it!
Written instructions are the order of the day, and there are no charts to follow. There are 2 types of bobble stitch, one in the rib and the other in the body of the hat. A lovely slipped, textured stitch is worked in between the bobbled rows, to add more "je ne sais quois!" French, for "I don't know what." Literally, that's what it means - and I remember it from my days of taking French at High School - pretty impressive, huh?!" Considering how long ago that is, I believe it to be so! Please humour me on this!
There are 3 pages to the download. Suitable from child to adult, and once more, perfect for gift knitting - and stash busting, this hat is designed to be worn slightly slouchy. Knit in the round, and designed for DK weight yarn and most effective in a solid or semi solid, it uses a 4 mm (USA 6) circular needle.
The Mod Hat is designed to FIT HEAD SIZES:
XS: 46cm/18’''
S: 50cm/20''
M: 55cm/22''
L: 60cm/24''
