I've been wanting to get this hat pattern done since I first saw the tiles pattern. I thought it would look best in a solid color.........that shows off the stitches a bit better. I used donated yarn, so I can't give an exact amount for yardage. This hat is stretchy enough to fit most adults. Hope you like it!
If you have trouble printing this, it is available as a PDF here.

Love this hat, can't wait to make one!
ReplyDeleteThanks for the pattern. It is wonderful work that you do for others.
ReplyDeleteWould this pattern work knitting in the round?
ReplyDelete@Jeri - it probably would, but you would have to switch out your wrong side stitches since all rows are "right" sides in knitting in the round....... You'd probably just have to take all even rows and switch K's for P's........
ReplyDeleteI enjoy some of your patterns, but when I PRINT THEM IT COME OFF WITH ALL THE PEOPLE'S OPPIONS, WHAT THEY THINK OF THE PATTERNS. i AM ON A FIXED INCOME AND i CAN'T AFORD TO WASTE PAPER ON OUR'S OPPIONS. iS THERE ANY WAY YOU CAN PUT JUST THE PATTERS ON THE COMPUTER ?? jUST TO PRINT THE PATTERN ??
ReplyDeleteYou can go to the PDF link or email me. Your printer has settings that allow you to choose which pages to print.....or you can copy and paste into a word document. It depends on your printer and how you are using it. It's not a setting on the blog.
DeleteAnonymous can copy and paste into a document program--that should avoid printing the extra opinions.
ReplyDeleteThe PDF or Word documents can be saved without printing also until you decide what to make.
