Golden Compass Hats

I was watching a movie a few nights ago called 'The Golden Compass' which I thoroughly enjoyed (I'm a real kid at heart). The hat worn by the little girl in the north really caught my eye. It looked so warm and snuggly. I decided to try my hand at knitting one. It took a bit of fiddling to finally get it right . Using various types of wool, I managed to get a variegated effect which is also really thick and warm. I ended up making two of them in different sizes as the first was a little small. They turned out good if I don't say so myself. I really like them ... maybe I'll make some more in different colours. You certainly can't get a warmer hat than this for your little girl.

Deer Ski Hat

I made a really cute ski hat the other night. It was supposed to be a wine colour with cream deer but after I started knitting I realized I wouldn't have enough wine wool so I made it in a stripe design in cream and wine and made the deer wine. I think it turned out really well. It looks a bit odd on my doll model as it's a bit too big for her but it really is a cute hat.

Hats Hats Hats

I love to knit .. especially children's hats. Recently, I've been searching through patterns trying to find really cute hats. It's been such fun that I'd like to share a few with you. These three I made last week ...

I also found a woman's hat pattern in an old book and thought I'd give it a whirl. It turned out better than I expected actually ...

What's really neat about this hat is that it's gathered at the top so if you have a pony tail you could pull it out the top of the hat.

Well, I'm off to find some more patterns ...
