This continues my tradition of knitting matching hats for all the children in my family (current count: 4) each winter. First, there were pointy Christmas tree hats with i-cord garland and button ornaments. The next year, it was snowman caps, plain white with carrot-shaped noses and button eyes and mini toboggan hats on top. This year, I decided to go a little less wacky since the kids are getting a little older now.

Love the snowflake hat. I'm so inspired. I'm going to be starting one in black with grey snowflakes for my little boy. Thanks a bunch.

Glad you like it. Hope your son does too.
ReplyDeletei really like this pattern but I am struggling with this whole circular needle/dpns thing. Is it possible to do this pattern on straight needles?
ReplyDeleteCheers,
Andrea
Yeah, you could do it on straight needles. You would cast on two more stitches, and just work one even on each end. Then when you seam it up in the end, those two stitches would be hidden in the seam.
ReplyDeleteMore explicitly, you would cast on 86 (98, 110, 122) sts. And on each row, you would k1, work the corresponding row of the chart 6 times, then k the last st.
Hope that helps. Let me know if you have any other questions.
I really like the hat! Very pretty! I've never done fair isle before, but think I'm gonna give it a shot....
ReplyDeleteBeautiful hat...I've now knit five so far for my son and his cousins...so quick and easy!
ReplyDeleteHowever...I did have better results when I started using size 6 needles for the rib knit brim of the hat, then switched to size 7 for the remainder.
Thanks again!
When would I switch to dpns? Should 4 or 5 dpns be used? I am doing the adult small cap.
ReplyDeleteYou can switch to dpns whenever you start having to stretch out your stitches to go around the circular needle. Or if you use an extra long circular, you can employ the magic loop method and continue to use the circular throughout the hat.
ReplyDeleteOh, and it doesn't matter how many dpns you use. Some sets come with 4, 5 or even 6 needles, so however many you have/feel comfortable using.
ReplyDeleteIðd love to see your other Christmas hats :)
ReplyDeleteI am getting ready to decrease on the hat (child)....if I understand correctly there are only 6 decrease thru out the pattern????...I don't want to get to far and find that I am doing something wrong???? HELP! :)
ReplyDeleteThere will be 12 decreases every fourth round. Looking at the chart for the child size, you'll see the little 'carrots' (like an upside-down 'V' leaning to one side or the other). Each of those represents either a k2tog or a ssk, depending on the direction it's leaning (check out the chart key). So, starting with 96 sts, you'll decrease 12 sts on round 19 and every four round after that four more times (36 sts remaining). Then decrease 12 sts every other round twice (12 sts remaining). Then you'll cinch up those last 12 sts. Make sense?
ReplyDeleteThank You for the beautiful pattern. I am currently knitting it in sky blue and cream and it looks amazing.

DeleteThank you I like your snowflake hat, I will knit this for my baby, thank you so much.
ReplyDeleteYou are very welcome! :)
DeleteBeautiful hat! Just knitted the baby hat in baby blue and white on straight needles. So beautiful and easy to follow directions. I had never done Fair Isle style before- I am going to make myself one now!
ReplyDeleteThanks so much!
I just finished one in navy/turquoise for my grandson and he loves it. Next one in opposite color, as requested, by his older brother. It was easy and worked up quickly....Thank you !
ReplyDeleteNot sure what SSK means. Is it the same as knit 2 together ?
ReplyDeleteWhat hat size range compares to the adult small and large?
ReplyDeleteThis is almost a perfect pattern for the HKD Snownakers logo! I'm using it with a pattern for a plaid hat to make a perfectly custom hat for my boss/mentor in Snowmaking. This was a perfect find to end a 16hr shift!!
