Hat's anyone?!?

Ah my HATS. I have never in my life found something that I love to do as much as I love to knit. I am a beginner knitter but I have aspirations to conquer the knitting world (not really) but I would love to be able to one day have enough experience and expertise to create something of my own design. But for now I use other people's genius and create cute and cozy creations. I have been knitting hats and specifically two needle hats because I am just starting out so I don't have double-pointed needles or circular needles. I also have two sizes of needles so everything has to be done on them. I have 6mm and 10mm. I have been fortunate enough to find some great free patterns online.


This is the first pattern I attempted and I am in LOVE with it. It was the easiest thing in the world to knit and so fast because of the super chunky yarn and the big needles. It is a hat pattern that was inspired from the movie, "the golden compass". Lyra wears this hat and I was drawn to it in the film and it looks absolutely adorable on my girls and it fits awesome!

I got the pattern from:http://froggiemeanie.blogspot.com/2007/12/golden-compass-hat-happy-holidays.html






It is the best hat pattern I found for kids, especially because neither of my children like hats, so I could tie it on them. The only thing I changed from her pattern was that I braided the ties because I'm not really a twister.
