Here is a collection of hats I made for the local Warm the Children.
The boys’ school has a “mitten tree” every year to collect warm items. I can’t believe how many of the items this year (other than mine) were handmade!
This is Cascade 200 Superwash Handpaint from Metaphor Yarns (random pattern out of my head).
This is an earflap hat made of Wool-Ease, a free pattern on the Lion Brand Yarn site.
Here’s another Wool-Ease hat, this one made out of “Thick & Quick” left over from my mom’s sweater (another random pattern).
The third random hat is made from Wool of the Andes Bulky.
This isn’t a great picture, but the hat is quite cute. It is made from Luisa Harding Kashmir Aran using the pattern A Hat Fit for a Fella (AKA Men’s Cabled Hat). This is one of my favorite yarns, very soft and sqooshy and extrememly warm.
In case you are wondering, the tags are care tags. All are machine washable except the Wool of the Andes hat.
