kiwi hat inspired by pretty summer flowers- great pattern for fall.
Knits up quickly and uses no cable needle!
If you would like this hat larger in circumference (it perfectly fits my 21-22” head), then feel free to go up in needle size. A US 8 or 9 would work.
If you would like this hat to be ‘deeper’, then continue knitting it longer before starting the crown decreases.

A great first cables project as well as a quick project for more experienced knitters.
This hat makes a great gift project because it knits up so quickly.

This pretty beret uses one strand of sportweight and one strand of laceweight mohair/silk blend held together.
This is a quick knit, with most of the work done on size 8 needles.
This uses almost every speck of the Beaded Mohair & Sequins, so your gauge swatch will have to be unraveled.

Inspired by the mature trees that grow throughout the city of Chicago. They are too big to wrap your arms around, yet they spring out of sidewalks down many streets in Lakeview.
This reversible hat mimics the patterns of tree bark. It makes a beautiful design worn either way and is suitable for men and women. The smocking pattern creates a distinct cable look on one side and an interesting rib pattern on the other.
Materials:
120 yards chunky weight yarn
US 8 needles
