Throughout the year, I’ve been knitting hats amongst the regular clues of knit alongs. It has been a pleasure to knit these various patterns, knowing each hat will be placed on the heads of those who need them.
I know I should have sent earlier in the winter! Procrastination is always there! But, now I’ve gathered, made sure all loose ends have been sewn in, placed in a USPS flat rate box, labeled, and off they go!! The group will be collecting all year. I just need to remember that I can send even in the summer!
Here is the address EHFHI, 112 Seminole Rd., Lafayette, NJ 07848
Bringing some warmth to cold heads!!
Now, I'll begin to knit hats again. It helps practice different stitches, use different yarns and colors; a good way to use up all those stash yarns (some at various lengths) the best pattern for using stash yarns is

I thought long and hard about investing in this pattern, as I usually don't like to buy patterns that I might not like--but, this one is a winner! I've made several hats using this method. Below is a standard pattern; also, check out Pinterest.
Hat from Hobbii Cast on 89 (93, 97, 101) sts and knit back and forth in pattern: 1st row: *k2, p2*, repeat from * to * to 1 st left, k1. Repeat this row until the work measures approx. 7.1” (7½”, 7½”, 7.9”) or 18 (19, 19, 20) cm. Start decreases 1st row, right side: *k2tog, p2tog *, repeat from * to * to 1 st left, k1 = 45 (47, 49, 51) sts. 2nd row, wrong side: Knit what the stitch pattern shows. 3rd row, right side: k1, *k2tog *, repeat from * to * across = 23 (24, 25, 26) sts. 4th row, wrong side: Knit what the stitch pattern shows. 5th row, right side: *k2tog*, repeat from * to * to 1 st left, k1 = 12 (12, 13, 14) sts. 6th row, wrong side: Knit what the stitch pattern shows. Cut the yarn, pull end through the sts and weave in end. Sew the hat together.
