viking knot hat




Well, I haven't been making much this week. (Except for trying to finish a knit Imke shirt for Willa which is giving me a lot of trouble. Stupid sewing machine) So here are some past projects to keep you entertained. THis hat comes from the Viking Patterns for Knitting book. I modified it a bit but I've made quite a few of them in different colors for others. The cable knotwork design is quite fascinating but it does knit up very quickly. This particular piece I made during the Oscars a long long time ago. Way back in the 90's I think. Anyway, I'm still wearing it every winter, even though it's always been a bit big. I felted it a tiny bit a couple of years ago to size it down a little.

baby viking knot hat


Here is the baby version of the viking cable hat. I made an interesting top for it and added a tassel. As Willa outgrew it I added some earflaps and a tie to keep it on her head. I appear to have put it on the doll backwards. Oops.
