Cute hats!

Oh, yes. Color work is not my favorite technique to do, but I needed a change from stripes. Oh, and there is an error in the instructions when going from the brim to the main part. You need to exclude one of the increases.

Thanks, I’m to the time of year where I try to use up some of my scraps.

Woo hoo! 2 more hats for this year.
The pattern is no longer available, but if someone wants it I can DM you the instructions.

You are definitely a hat making machine! I love that you share so many cool patterns.
I have definitely made more hats thanks to you!
I have some bulky weight yarn that I ordered for Christmas but it won’t arrive until Jan 3. I hope to start 2026 with some cool hats to make.
In the meantime, I am going through all my hat patterns (printed and digital) to scrap hats that I probably won’t make again and finding some favorite from the past.
My goal for 2026 is to try some colorwork/fair isle types of knit hats.

Be sure and check your favorite digital ones. Both of the ones I posted today are no longer on the yarnspirations website. Fortunately, I have hard copies.
The second half of this year has been filled with many hours sitting at hospitals, outpatient centers, and doctors’ offices with my MIL as she navigates a serious autoimmune disease. Making hats is an easily portable and time filling activity.

I always print out my patterns and have a file for them, but I forget to delete them off my computer so sometimes I reprint them. I am trying to be more efficient and organized.
I created a folder on my computer for all my downloads and then when I print them, I rename them with a P at the end for Printed. That way if I never use the pattern for some reason, I haven’t wasted paper and ink. If they are not printed after a few years, I delete them because I know there is a reason I haven’t made them yet. I also have a few standard go-tos that I just keep in my knitting bag.

Ah, that’s a good method. I hardly ever turn on my laptop now that I retired from my tax job as well as my last volunteer job, so I just use a tablet for the most part day-to-day.
