The weather is finally starting to be a bit cooler here in Delaware.....not cool enough for us yet, but at least not so hot. Schnapps came up with this hat in this fabulous shade of blue during a Football Sunday. It's made with 6-weight, super bulky yarn, but there are instructions for all yarn weights too.
It's the last week to get a chance to win! Raffle tickets can be purchased online - just email
robin@delawareheadhuggers.org and let me know you are interested.
Raffle tickets are $1 each and 6 for $5. Once I receive payment, I will
email you the ticket numbers that are for you. Payment can be made via
PayPal. The drawing will be on
October 17, 2015 or a few days later depending on if we are waiting for
people to pay. We don't want anyone to miss out. You choose which of the items below you want your tickets to go towards.
Operation Bottle Beanies is going strong.......it's growing slowly, but we are happy that it's taking off! New businesses may be added soon too! Remember, we need LOTS of tiny hats! We need themed hats for Fall and Winter such as Thanksgiving, Christmas, Hanukkah and more. We need farm themed hats like bee hives, pumpkins, apples, tomatoes and other fruits and vegetables. We need adorable hats of any theme or type! Sizes vary since there are many different items sold in the store; apple butter, local honey, jams, oils, pickles and so many other yummy things. Please help us with this special project that is very important to Schnapps and me.

If using 5-weight yarn, use size 11 needles and cast on 64.
If using 4-weight yarn, use size 8 needles and cast on 80.
If using 3-weight yarn, use size 5 needles and cast on 112 stitches.
The pattern is worked over 16 stitches. I prefer the look of the one design, but you can repeat the design if you wish. The way the pattern is written, you can repeat it 3 times.

Hyperbola is really a lovely pattern. Thanks for this, Robin! I like trying new things and hope to try this one some time. I'm working now on the mittens for my daughter. Winter is coming, actually it's already tomorrow:) And she's no mittens. Hope to be in time:) Cheers, Leslee Hoft
