She's A Betty Bonnet Isn't she, though? When's the last time I mentioned how much I love Malabrigo yarn? Let's be honest: I probably bored my kids with that knowledge earlier this morning. However, just because I'm a broken record doesn't mean that you can't make this super-sweet bonnet for yourself or a loved one (and I'll even let you use a chunky weight fiber that isn't Malabrigo if you really insist). My only note is that, while I finished this bad boy with just one skein of the Mecha, or 130 yards, it was a close call so you may need slightly more yarn to complete yours. But don't worry - this fancifully-finished design (check out the back below!) will be worth it either way. Yarn: Malabrigo Mecha (100% Merino Superwash Wool; 130 yards [120 meters]/100 grams); #809 Solis - 1 - 2 skeins A closer view of the back finish. It's different, no? Needles: Straight needles in size US 10.5, one 16" circular needle in size US 11 needle, and one set of double pointed needles in size US 11 Notions: Tapestry needle, 5 stitch markers Gauge: 12 stitches = 4 inches in stockinette on size US 11 needles So let's make a hat, then! First, then, since we'll begin by knitting flat, go ahead and use your size 10.5 needles to cast on 80 stitches loosely. Then we'll knit some ribbing, as follows: Ribbing Row 1 (wrong side): * p1, k2, p1; rep from * Ribbing Row 2: * k1, p2, k1 * Knit ribbing rows 1 & 2 until piece measures roughly 1.5" and you've just finished row 2 of the pattern. Transfer work to your size US 11 needle (yes, it's circular, but we're still working flat!). Then we'll work one marker placement row, as follows: Marker Placement Row (wrong side): p8, place marker, p24, place marker, p16, place marker, p24, place marker, p8 And once that's done, we'll begin our pattern as well as some decreases, which you'll find below. You'll need the following notation to continue (and you can find videos for the twists below as well): rt (right twist): knit two together, leaving stitches on left-hand needle; next, insert right-hand needle from the front between the two stitches just knitted together, and knit the first stitch again. Finally, slip both stitches from left-hand needle together lt (left twist): with right-hand needle behind left-hand needle, skip one stitch and knit the second stitch in back loop; then insert right-hand needle into the backs of both stitches and k2tog-b (knit two together through back loops, inserting right needle from the right) And once you have that down, we'll continue like so: Row 1 (right side): (lt) 4 times, slip marker, ssk, knit until you reach next marker, slip marker, (rt) 4 times, (lt) 4 times, slip marker, knit until you're two stitches from next marker, k2tog, slip marker, (rt) 4 times (-2 stitches) Row 2: purl, slipping all markers when you reach them Row 3: k1, (lt) 3 times, k1 slip marker, ssk, knit until you reach next marker, slip marker, k1, (rt) 3 times, k2, (lt) 3 times, k1, slip marker, knit until you're two stitches from next marker, k2tog, slip marker, k1, (rt) 3 times, k1 (-2 stitches) Row 4: purl, slipping all markers when you reach them Knit rows 1 - 4 three times, and then knit rows 1 - 3 once more. Now you should have 16 stitches remaining between your first and second markers, and 64 stitches in total. We're going to join the hat in the round at this point, which your yarn should be in position for since you've left off at the end of a right side row. Anyway, then, join piece in round and place row marker - as a note, you'll probably either want to join by swapping your first and last stitches or reinforce this join when you're done with the hat. Either way, we'll continue as follows: Row 1: knit, slipping extra markers when you reach them Row 2: (lt) 4 times, slip marker, knit until you reach next marker, slip marker, (rt) 4 times, (lt) 4 times, slip marker, knit until you reach next marker, slip marker, (rt) 4 times Row 3: knit, slipping extra markers when you reach them Row 4: k1, (lt) 3 times, k1, slip marker, knit until you reach next marker, slip marker, k1, (rt) 3 times, k2, (lt) 3 times, k1, slip marker, knit until you reach next marker, slip marker, k1, (rt) 3 times, k1 Knit rows 1 - 4 once or twice (I knit them twice; however, for a slightly shallower hat, once would be plenty) and then knit row 1 again. Then we'll begin our decrease rows, as follows: Decrease Row 1: (lt) 3 times, k2tog, slip marker, knit until you reach next marker, slip marker, ssk, (rt) 3 times, (lt) 3 times, k2tog, slip marker, knit until you reach next marker, slip marker, ssk, (rt) 3 times (60 stitches) Decrease Row 2: knit Decrease Row 3: k1, (lt) twice, k2tog, slip marker, knit until you reach next marker, slip marker, ssk, (rt) twice, k2, (lt) twice, k2tog, slip marker, knit until you reach next marker, slip marker, ssk, (rt) twice, k1 (56 stitches) Decrease Row 4: knit Decrease Row 5: (lt) twice, k2tog, slip marker, ssk, knit until you're 2 stitches from next marker, k2tog, slip marker, ssk, (rt) twice, (lt) twice, k2tog, slip marker, ssk, knit until you're 2 stitches from next marker, k2tog, slip marker, ssk, (rt) twice (48 stitches) Decrease Row 6: knit You'll probably want to switch to your dpns about now... Decrease Row 7: k1, lt, k2tog, slip marker, knit until you reach next marker, slip marker, ssk, rt, k2, lt, k2tog, slip marker, knit until you reach next marker, slip marker, ssk, rt, k1 (44 stitches) Decrease Row 8: knit until you reach first marker, slip marker, ssk, knit until you're 2 stitches from next marker, k2tog, slip marker, knit until you reach next marker, slip marker, ssk, knit until you're 2 stitches from next marker, k2tog, slip marker, knit until end of round (40 stitches) Decrease Row 9: lt, k2tog, slip marker, knit until you reach next marker, slip marker, ssk, rt, lt, k2tog, slip marker, knit until you reach next marker, slip marker, ssk, rt (36 stitches) Decrease Row 10: knit until you reach first marker, slip marker, ssk, knit until you're 2 stitches from next marker, k2tog, slip marker, knit until you reach next marker, slip marker, ssk, knit until you're 2 stitches from next marker, k2tog, slip marker, knit until end of round (32 stitches) Decrease Row 11: k1, k2tog, slip marker, ssk, knit until you're 2 stitches from next marker, k2tog, slip marker, ssk, k2, k2tog, slip marker, ssk, knit until you're 2 stitches from next marker, k2tog, slip marker, ssk, k1 (24 stitches) Decrease Row 12: lt, remove marker, (ssk) twice, (k2tog) twice, remove marker, rt, lt, remove marker, (ssk) twice, (k2tog) twice, remove marker, rt (16 stitches) Complete decrease rows 1 - 12. Then, knit across the first 4 stitches of your round. Next, transfer the following 8 stitches to one dpn for grafting, and the final 4 of the round, plus the 4 you just knit, to a second dpn. Using the Kitchener stitch, graft together these remaining 16 stitches. Tuck in ends and block, if desired. Make tassels and affix to bottom corners of hat. Wear proudly, even if you're a Veronica instead.
Bees are exceptionally clever creatures. Honeybees use their beeswax to create strong and highly efficient honeycomb structures, which they use for accommodation, food storage, and a place to raise their larvae. The Beeswax Hat and the matching Cowl and Mitts celebrate the beauty of this structure. The Beeswax Hat’s honeycomb texture is made up of simple mini-cables, which can be knit without a cable needle. I’ve included instructions for my favourite twist method, which I find intuitive and easy to remember, but you can use any method you prefer. Skills & Techniques Knitting in the round, increasing and decreasing, and simple 1-over-1 cables. Both charts and full written instructions are provided. Materials Needed 1 skein of Vintage Purls Max (75% merino, 25% nylon; 227yds/208m per 100g skein), or 119 (181)yds/109 (165.5)m of DK or light worsted-weight yarn. Sample colourway: ‘Easy Rider’. If substituting yarn, I recommend choosing a bouncy merino or other woollen-spun yarn with lots of ‘body’, so the cables are plump and well-defined. You will also need a cable needle (optional), an end-of-round stitch marker, and a tapestry needle for weaving in ends Finished Measurements Sizes 1 (2) relaxed after blocking: 14.5 (18)”/37 (46)cm brim circumference, and 7.75 (9)”/19.5 (23)cm long from brim to crown Sizes 1 (2) to fit head circumference: 17-20 (21-24)”/43-51 (53.5-61)cm Sample is shown in size 2 on my 22”/56cm circumference head.

Chelsea adds a bit more pizzazz to the basic 2x2 ribbed scarf. Columns of 6-stitch cables in between ribbing provide an angular effect to an otherwise basic vertical design. Knitted as a single repeat, it’s a long ‘skinny scarf’ that can easily be tied and wrapped in a number of different ways. Using Aran or Heavy Worsted yarn and US 7 or US 8 needles, this scarf is relatively easy to knit and works up quickly for either male or female. The skill level is advanced beginner or intermediate. Knowledge of cables and basic ribbing is needed. This pattern is charted only and includes minimal written directions. It consists of a series of charts to be followed in numerical order. Cable notations are color-coded based on direction so it is helpful to print the pattern using a color printer. Questions? Please contact me at [email protected].
A top down cloche, ab-so-lute-ly spiffing for putting on the ritz, this is very quick to make in chunky yarn.

I used Rowan Cocoon 80% merino, 20% mohair, one skein each in Kiwi (green, MC) and Clay (beige CC). Age 8-adult small: 100m/110yds (50m/55yds of each colour) Adult medium: 120m/130yds (60m/65yds of each colour) Adult large: 130m/140yds (65m/70yds of each colour) Always allow some extra yarn. If you change the suggested yarn or use yarns of different weights you may need to allow greater yardage. Pattern contains full written instructions and a chart for the brim decreases.

The November Balaclava Mini is worked from the top down in fisherman’s rib. First, a square is worked for the top of the head. Then stitches are picked up and knitted along the sides of the square and the balaclava is worked back and forth to under the chin, where it is joined in the round. At the end, a rib edge is worked around the face opening. The balaclava has a feminine fit, as it covers the ears, but not the forehead or sides of the face. Note that the measurements given for the finished balaclava are for after it has been washed. The hat should be washed before wearing as the fisherman’s rib grows giving the hat the correct size. Begin by working a swatch to determine which needle size you need to achieve the correct gauge. Wash and block the swatch before taking any measurements. Sizes: 0-1 (1-2) 2-7 years Head circumference: 44-46 (46-49) 49-54 cm [17¼-18 (18-19¼) 19¼-21¼ inches] Gauge: 16 sts x 36 rows = 10 x 10 cm [4 x 4 inches] in fisherman’s rib on 4.5 mm [US7] needles before washing; the equivalent of 14 sts x 36 rows = 10 x 10 cm [4 x 4 inches] in fisherman’s rib on 4.5 mm [US7] needles after washing, as fisherman’s rib grows with washing and wear (note that 36 rows in fisherman’s rib are counted as 18 knit sts). Circular needles: 4.5 mm [US7] / 40 and 80 cm [16 and 31½ inches] Materials: 50-100 (100) 100 g Peruvian Highland Wool by Filcolana (50 g = 100 m [109 yds]) or Peer Gynt by Sandnes Garn (50 g = 91 m [98 yds]) held together with 25 (25) 25 g Silk Mohair by Isager Yarn (25 g = 212 m [232 yds]) or Tynn Silk Mohair by Sandnes Garn (25 g = 212 m [232 yds]) or Tilia by Filcolana (25 g = 212 m [232 yds]) or Brushed Lace by Mohair By Canard (25 g = 212 m [232 yds]) Difficulty: ★ ★ ★ (3 out of 5) See the classification of difficulty here.

Hi Knitters, I've had another design pop up last week in a newly published book. It is one of my most favorite designs I have done. About a year ago I sent off this hat to Interweave for Cecily Glowik MacDonald and Melissa LaBarre's new book, Weekend Hats. I am going to review the entire book coming up soon (as soon as I get a copy) but I wanted to first quickly share the hat I made for the collection. The hat is worked from the top-down. The yarn is Blue Sky Alpacas Suri Merino. It is a drapey, decadent and romantic yarn. I absolutely fell in love with Suri Merino while making the hat. On one side of the hat you add more increases to get that extra fabric. Then just before the ribbing for the brim you make 3 pleats on the side of the hat that has the extra stitches. The pleating is a slick technique that I came up with as I worked. I am very pleased with the outcome. The hat is actually pleated and not ruched so the name of the hat is a little misleading. Click here for the Ravelry project page for my Ruche Beret! Click here to see all of the projects in Weekend Hats! Click here for the Amazon link for the book! Click here to see the BSA Suri Merino yarn and colorways! I made the hat sample for the book in the Harvest colorway and it only takes one hank of yarn. It is the perfect quick gift for the fall and winter seasons ahead. The Ruche Beret is knit at 5 stitches per inch on the dk weight yarn. This makes the drape in the fabric even better. The Ruche Beret is also truly a weekend project. You can start one day and finish the next! It's a fast one. I have two more hanks of the Suri Merino in the colorways Earth and Seamist. I am planning on two more Ruche Berets this season. One for me and one for a gift. I'll be back soon. best, susie p.s. Don't forget that I am speaking and signing books at the Madison Knitters Guild next Monday, Oct. 10th, 2011! Please come if you are in the area, the meeting starts at 6:30pm and the guild meets at a new location. I would love to see you there if you are able.

Dazzle your friends and family with the lovely Arctic Sunset Cable Hat. You can stay warm in true knitting style with this fun cabled hat, a modern take on more traditional patterns.

Recently I had a fan request - design a hat to go with the Leaping Blocks and Stripes Blanket pattern. Well if you've been reading Moogly for a while, you know I love to take requests. So here we are - the Leaping Stripes and Blocks Beanies! Disclaimer: This post includes affiliate links. While I'm sure she was just looking for a baby hat to make a little layette set, one of the fun things about the Leaping Blocks and Stripes Blanket pattern is that it includes instructions for several different sizes. Therefore, I just had to design hat sizes
