Rib Stitch Hat
(as seen in 1959 Learn How Book)

At one point, I had three grandmas worth of yarn. One stash was given to me on the passing of my Great-Grandma Mary. Another stash came from a friend of my Grandma Nikki. The third was a big bag of acrylic I found at the thrift store. The bag was only 10 bucks, and also inside were some needles, a flower press, and a few books. This pattern is the wackiest of them, and comes from a Coats & Clark’s book, printed in 1959. I just had to share. I’m reproducing the pattern verbatim here, so if it’s confusing, I apologize.

Enough with frilly girly cupcakes. It’s time for a MAN’s baby hat! Yar! Or whatever vikings say. For a more Valkerie version of this hat, sew on some blonde braids instead of the earflaps! Here we go.

SIZE
3-9 mos.

They say that sea sponges with poor fashion sense live in pineapples at the bottom of the ocean. I myself think that your baby’s head should live in a pineapple on dry land. This pattern makes use of a knitted texture that my girl Susan had in a calendar of some sort. I made this hat and sold it rather quickly at a craft show, and neglected to write down a few things, like the gauge and the exact measurements for the spikey leaf things. So if you know if you’re a loose/tight knitter, adjust accordingly. I’m rather average, myself. There’s a better pic of it here.

SIZE
0-3 mos. It’s a bit snug on Rocco there.

If you’ve never seen anything by Aardman, you’re missing out. This animation studio puts out some of the best cartoons out there. I myself love Wallace and Gromit. Gromit’s a knitter after all. Anyhow, a few years back, they put out a movie called Chicken Run, and once again, there was a character who knitted, and most of the chickens were wearing some sort of knitted wear rendered in clay. This is my version of the hat worn by the main character, Ginger. It’s a simple roll brim hat that has two little Icords at the top. I’d rate this one easy.

SIZE Adult. One size fits all but those with freakishly large heads.

This hat will make you want to start chowing on your child’s head. It’s the original cupcake hat, first published freely on the internet in 2005. It’s the most popular pattern I have ever made, it’s everywhere. It was even on the View, apparently. Who knew Snoop and Babs were fans? Anyhow, this is where you can get it for free. Scroll to the bottom for updates and alternative toppings.

SIZE

1-4 years. Continue reading »
